eBay(TM) Selects Equifax Secure to Verify Identity of Buyers, Sellers Over the Internet
New Service to Add Additional Privacy, Security for World's Largest
Online Trading Community
ATLANTA, Jan. 15 /PRNewswire/ -- Equifax Secure Inc., the e-commerce
solutions division of Equifax Inc. (NYSE: EFX), and eBay (Nasdaq: EBAY), the
world's largest person-to-person online trading community, today announced a
new service that will soon enable eBay to establish a new standard for
personal privacy and security for
eBay - New & used electronics, cars, apparel, collectibles, sporting goods & more at low prices. Financial terms were not
disclosed.
Under this agreement, Equifax Secure and eBay are bringing next-generation
technology to authenticate consumers joining the growing eBay community of
registered buyers and sellers. The new service delivers a security-rich
registration process to revolutionize authentication on
eBay - New & used electronics, cars, apparel, collectibles, sporting goods & more at low prices, creating
an even more secure, private online trading environment.
"eBay is committed to protecting users' privacy and providing community
members with the valuable tools and services to help foster safe online
trading," said Meg Whitman, president and CEO of San Jose-based eBay. "Our
voluntary program, Verified eBay User, will establish an additional level of
confidence in knowing the identity of other users. Equifax Secure will help
support this initiative by verifying user identification information."
Jeff Johnson, Equifax senior vice president and general manager of Equifax
Secure, said, "We are delighted that eBay has selected the Equifax Secure
remote authentication capability for its online trading community. Obtaining
more complete and accurate identification increases consumer confidence in
buying or selling goods and services while further enhancing privacy, security
and trust for eBay's web site."
According to Privacy and American Business, nearly half of the consumers
who use personal computers do not access the Internet, saying that ensuring
the privacy and security of personal data and on-line transactions would
influence them to start using the Internet. According to Consumer Reports and
the Computer Security Institute, millions of dollars are lost each year from
identity theft, unauthorized insider access, theft of proprietary information,
telecommunications and financial fraud, and other security breaches over
public and private networks.
"The Equifax Secure authentication technology significantly reduces the
risk, cost and complexity of assuring the privacy, integrity and security of
electronic communications and transactions over the Internet," Johnson said.
"Equifax Secure and eBay share a commitment to eliminating fraud through
implementing safeguards on the Internet for e-commerce."
The authentication technology is part of a suite of e-commerce solutions
developed by Equifax Secure to help build privacy, security and trust for
e-commerce over the Internet and other networks. The e-commerce solutions
leverage Equifax's 100 years of innovation in managing large volumes of
sensitive information to enable enterprises in a secure online environment to
authenticate consumer identity, secure business applications and manage
digital certificates and scalable directories for consumer-direct, intra-
enterprise and business to business e-commerce.
