VeriSign Identity Protection principles
VeriSign Identity Protection
(VIP) helps protect your accounts and your identity by
requiring a unique security code, in addition to your user name and password, to
access your online accounts. VIP is based on so called two-factor authentication
which combines something you know (
such as your username and password
) with
something unique that only you can generate instantaneously before logging to a site
(
a security code in this case
) to verify an identity or to verify a transaction.

VeriSign Identity Protection member websites
The
VeriSign
button is displayed either in green color
(
for all recognized VIP
member website
), or in gray color
(
for all non-VIP member sites or VIP
member sites that the Toolbar does not recognize
). This basically means that the
VeriSign Identity Protection
can only be activated on websites that are members of
the VIP programme (
VIP member sites
,
VIP network
). A VIP member site is a website
maintained by a company that offers an additional layer of protection to their users
with
VeriSign Identity Protection
.
