Moovel also utilizes encryption
in the protection of their
users data.
“Security is paramount to
our platform. It is absolutely the
fi rst priority in our applications
as we’re dealing with people’s
private information and payment
data. We adhere to the highest rigor
vis-à-vis security encryption,
data transfer and data storage,”
said Parker. “For us that means
making sure that every payment
is entirely tokenized using PCI
standards and encryption. We
also have thorough checks visà
vis fraud mechanisms, velocity
checks in user behavior to detect
fraud early.”
With the recent release of the
virtual card payment that moovel
established with Android Pay,
the company moved to the utilization
of cryptography.
Parker explained, “Th e
method is called elliptic curve
cryptography. Th is is one of
the most respected and highest
levels of security when it comes
to virtual payments. We also
ensure that all of our systems
are fully stock compliant, so
we have security standards and
audits that we pass every year.
We also hire an outside fi rm
that does white hat hacking to
prevent any penetration of our
systems and to ensure again that
we are meeting the highest standards.
So again, it is job one for
us. We live and breathe security.”

“We control every IP address
of every smartphone or tablet
that we provide to the agency,”
said Ollivier. “Only the tablet or
smartphone that we authorize is
able to access the data and can
work with the app. Th ey cannot
just buy a new tablet; it won’t
work, we have to authorize it.”
Transit Looks To a
Tech-Based Future
A common trend for transit
agencies is offering mobile applications
for a variety of transit
services looking toward the
future of improving the rider
experience.
Technology is an ever-changing
medium and the use of apps
can increase the use of public
transit by making it easier for
riders to find their ride and pay
their fares.
