All about us

Our Background

mSIGNIA is privately and strategically held with 3 of the top 4 investors being large, international financial institutions.  Nearly half of mSIGNIA’s investors have invested multiple times in the company.

mSIGNIA is a test and software tools provider to the entire online payment ecosystem, including EMV 3DS product vendors, merchants, payment service providers, acquirers, payment networks, issuers, delegated authenticators, FIDO reliant parties, and risk scoring engines.

Our Approach

the Innovation Arc

The Path to Secure Connect Commerce

mSIGNIA’s products – developed in Europe and the US – enable compliance with EMV 3DS, PSD2 SCA, W3C, and FIDO.  We are often asked about the relationship between these payment and identity standards, future standards like EMV’s Secure Remote Commerce (SRC) and W3C’s Secure Payment Confirmation (SPC), and the importance of privacy.

We have defined an ‘Innovation Arc’ (shown below) to strategically align various payment, identity, and privacy roadmaps; ultimately yielding the unified concept of Secure Connected Commerce (SCC).

Innovation Arc2

The general premise is that the card-present domain is becoming increasingly connected as demonstrated by QR codes and EMVCo’s task forces for Wireless and Tap-to-Mobile. At the same time, consumer’s devices are increasingly becoming more trusted, some even to the level of an EMV chip card.

It seems inevitable, then, that in-person and remote payment technologies will converge under a ‘connected’ payment concept. Such a concept would naturally embrace and extend current market trends around authentication and privacy.

mSIGNIA uses the unification narrative of Secure Connected Commerce to enable an industry-wide migration path for 3DS + SCA + W3C + FIDO + SRC + GDPR customer efforts.

Already, EMVCo, FIDO, and W3C are jointly working to align related payment and authentication efforts. Privacy represents a recommended liaison opportunity which helps to build good-will and consumer credibility in today’s world.

mSIGNIA is proud to be a leader in the technology enabling these global standards.

Our Tagline and Mission

mSIGNIA icon n tag JPG 768x211

mSIGNIA's tagline, 'Solid Ground for a Cyber World', is all about our mission to provide a safe, stable, reliable, foundation on which we, our partners, and their customers can be successful.

The ancient definition of the term "signia" is the ground beneath your feet. In 495 BC, ancient Rome founded the colony of Signia which a struck a silver coin, called a Signia, featuring Hermes, the messenger of the gods, wearing a winged helmet.

Signia CoinThe term drives mSIGNIA's innovation in several ways

  • As the digital world moves to the cloud, a user's identity will be the only data remaining with the user. Such data identifies and authenticates the user to the cloud. It cannot be stored in the cloud; it must be sourced from the user and their device-in-hand. mSIGNIA's SmartLink Split SDK Client is the digital embodiment of solid ground in a cyber world.

  • Just as Hermes was the messenger between people of the earth and the ancient gods in the clouds, mSIGNIA's SDK Server is the messenger between users (where the Split SDK Client operates) and cloud services. mSIGNIA's Split SDK architecture manages the chaos of the client, making it easier for cloud services to thrive.

  • When you are building something great, you build it on solid ground. mSIGNIA's testing and tools products offer the same reliability which enables our partners to build their amazing services which make payments safe and easy.
