Security in more detail
Your security is our highest priority. The InsideBusiness App combines the security of two-factor authentication and a high-grade secure connection with the convenience of mobile phone features like fingerprint and face recognition.
Our InsideBusiness app is secured on several layers:
From a company policy perspective
- The user can be configured to use all InsideBusiness App functionalities or only use the mToken feature and is managed by the Corporate Administrator, or on request by ING.
- When a user only has the mToken permission, he can only use the app to log into InsideBusiness. No account information or other features will be present in the app, unless that permission is enabled by the Corporate Administrator, or on request by ING.
- The user can deactivate the app (wipe keys and block the app).
- The user or Corporate Administrator can deactivate the app via InsideBusiness.
- In case of emergency, ING can deactivate the InsideBusiness App.
- We are currently developing a new feature to disable self-activation. This means that users will need approval from the Corporate Administrator before being able to use the app or mToken.
From a data perspective
- No personal data from your mobile phone is transmitted to ING. The InsideBusiness App is built against the highest security standards and will have no access to data or functionalities and is in no way able to take control over your personal or company phone.
- All data in the app is stored encrypted and cleared after logout.
- ING monitors the integrity of the app continuously to prevent tampering. No personal data is gathered.
mPIN
- An mPIN is your personal code for authentication. This code is unique for the app and mobile phone combination. The mPIN uses Secure Remote Password protocol and is therefore not known by ING, nor is it transmitted to ING.
- After 5 incorrect attempts, the mPIN is blocked. It is not possible to unblock the mPin. To get access to the app again, the user needs to re-activate the App via the registration process. When a new registration takes place, both the user and the Corporate Administrator will be informed.
- Authentication and signing of transactions are based on multi-factor authentication. The 1st factor is the mPIN you know or your fingerprint. The 2nd factor is the private keys you have which are generated and securely stored during app activation specifically for you.
Encryption and protocols
- Data is transferred securely between the app and ING via a TLS connection. Within this connection the data is additionally encrypted.
- Strong and proven protocols are used for connection, encryption and keys: TLS 1.2+, AES (256), HMAC (512) and RSA (2048).
- To further enhance security, you can enable additional mobile device security features (e.g., PIN, pattern, fingerprint, face recognition).
- The software is extensively tested in multiple phases of the development lifecycle. Before a major release the implementation is tested by an external party (grey box security review).
- The InsideBusiness App complies with applicable local regulatory requirements and international security standards, like EBA’s PSD2 RTS.
