The login data that "Godfather" reads and transmits include, for example, the combination of user name and password or TANs that are transmitted via SMS. This does not work with secunet protect4use: while login processes with this solution are also based on the principle of two-factor authentication – i.e. the combination of two individual factors, one of which is based on knowledge and one on possession – this combination is generated in the keystore of the Android operating system. The factors are not transferable and can only be verified by an authenticated secunet protect4use server. Therefore, even if the malware is on the smartphone, it is not possible for it to carry out authorisation or authentication by means of the app.
