(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
Gemalto's SafeNet Hardware Security Modules support YES BANK's secure
implementation of India's Unified Payments Interface
Amsterdam - July 20, 2016 - Gemalto (Euronext NL0000400653), the world leader in
digital security, today announced that YES BANK, India's fifth largest private
sector bank, has deployed its SafeNet Network HSM to secure mobile payment
transactions for millions of its customers under India's recently implemented
Unified Payments Interface (UPI).
YES BANK is a full service commercial bank that has acted as a front runner in
deploying UPI, India's next generation online payments solution which enables
all account holders to send and receive money from their smartphones with a
single identifier - such as mobile number or virtual payments address - without
entering any bank account information. The SafeNet Network HSM (formerly SafeNet
Luna SA HSM) provides strong end-to-end data security and encryption to protect
user credential confidentiality and the private keys responsible for digital
signing, thus establishing a secure root of trust for financial transactions
throughout the UPI payment process.
"With a widespread network of over 860+ branches and 1,625+ ATMs Pan India,
we're committed to taking a customer-centric approach to our banking services,"
said Anup Purohit, Chief Information Officer at YES BANK. "The Unified Payments
Interface offers clients revolutionary convenience when it comes to banking and
payments, and we want to ensure the highest levels of security for users of the
platform. We're thrilled to integrate Gemalto's industry-leading SafeNet HSM
technology into the UPI application to support this initiative."
"When it comes to the introduction of new mobile applications and digital
services in banking and financial services, building trust, data security and
regulatory compliance is an essential component for adoption and success," said
Ashesh Thanawala, Sales Director for India Identity & Data Protection at
Gemalto. "By working with YES BANK India, we are delighted to ensure that its
customers benefit from the convenience UPI offers, without compromising on
security through the application of strong encryption and protection of user
credentials in the prestigious UPI project. We are trusted for our technical
strength in delivering the required guidance to meet and implement regulatory
compliance in such mission critical projects."
