Using Enum to securely log in and confirm all transactions in WebMoney. What is E-Num and how to work with it What is the question in enum

Many holders of WM-purses, when logging into their accounts, often see E-Num WebMoney as one of the authorization options, what it is, they are usually of little interest, because. they are already accustomed to using one password and SMS confirmation. However, this method is significantly superior to its traditional counterpart in terms of online payment security.

What it is

Let's take a closer look at what E-Num WebMoney is. At its core

it cryptographic key access to the wallet, providing sharing A PC through which the user's account is logged in, and a mobile device (tablet or smartphone) where encrypted access keys are stored.

When choosing E-Num as an authorization method, the system gives the user a question number, which he must enter in a special mobile application to receive a response number, which is the password for logging into the system. To ensure a high level of security, the system uses nonces for each authorization.

To select encrypted authorization, you must first register an E-Num WebMoney user on the service website and install special application to his mobile device. Any smartphone or tablet is suitable for this. Android based, Windows phone, BlackBerry or iOS.

What you need for E-Num-authorization

Consider how to enable E-Num WebMoney:

Many users ask how to enable WebMoney E-num on a smartphone. For example, consider an application for the most common mobile devices based on the Android OS, which must be downloaded from the Google Play website.

As soon as the program is installed on your smartphone, you need to enter it using the email and SMS password received at the end of registration on enum.ru.

For cryptographic authorization, when logging into Keeper Mini or Keeper Web Pro (if this particular wallet management method is selected), click the "Enable E-Num" button instead of "Request SMS Code"
Next, you need to enter the code sent to the phone.
Secure authorization is activated. The system will give you a question number. It can be entered manually into mobile program or, if the machine has a scanner, scan a square barcode.
In the smartphone, select the "Action confirmation" section, enter the number-question.
We get the answer number. We enter it on the login page in WM.
To use encrypted authorization in WM Keeper Win Pro, you need to change the storage location for encrypted keys: in the program settings, click "Change".
Enter the password from SMS.
Since E-Num is already activated, the system will ask you to confirm the user's actions through it.
Checking the correctness of the address Email and move on.
Again we confirm the action by E-Num.

After the operation is completed, all keys are placed in a secure place in the program, but the file saved on the PC must be written to external media and stored in a safe place, since the codes will be needed when changing the computer or reinstalling the OS.

In the future, when entering the program, the system will issue a numerical question.

We enter the number-question into the application and act in the same way as in the situation when entering through the browser.

Additional E-Num authorization on WebMoney services

To activate the possibility of additional confirmation of your actions on various WM services, you need to go to security.webmoney.ru and opposite "E-Num-confirmation" click "Connect".

After activation, all user actions must be confirmed by a cryptographic algorithm:

In the WebMoney certification center - when viewing personal information and changing it.
At the loan issuance exchange - when applying for a loan.
In the security service - when working with powers of attorney and changing settings that confirm actions.
When paying for goods through the Merchant service.
When opening a trust limit on the debt service.
When placing orders for the purchase and sale of goods on the Shareholder.

Confirmation of operations by means of E-Num

To confirm various manipulations on WM services, the "Confirm action" button is always used, a question is entered and an answer is given.

A digital question is entered, then the answer, which serves as confirmation of the user's legal actions.

To prevent unauthorized access to the program by unauthorized persons, the "Deactivate application" option (in the settings) is used, which removes the email address and password for access to the application, known only to the owner.

How to enter your personal WebMoney account: Video

Hello, dear readers of the blog site. Today I want to continue talking about safe ways work with electronic money WebMoney, which are ways. In the first publication, I told about my own sad experience.

In fact, the problem of security when working with WebMoney is very acute and in the first article I advised you to pay attention to the security settings that can be done through the Security system, namely blocking access by IP. But there is an even stronger and more radical tool - Enum Storage.

Connect Enum to WebMoney and sleep well

Today I just want to talk about this, almost one hundred percent, protection of my wallets. The E-num authorization system has become such a kind of panacea, the essence of which is to use a mobile phone or a fingerprint scanner to confirm any payment, transfer or authentication.

In the simplest case of using it to confirm a payment, transfer or authentication, an SMS with several numbers will be sent to your mobile phone, which will become the key to confirm the action you are taking. It will be harder for attackers to access these messages than it is to access your email.

Now you can forget about yours, Keeper Light or, and carry out the operations you need with electronic money from absolutely any computer and without remembering any passwords.

The main device that replaces both the keeper, the key file, and the password set will be your own mobile phone(in some and , this authorization method is used by default).

A very good idea that allows you to bring the issue of securing payments in WebMoney to the area that is considered inaccessible to hackers by default - the mobile phone.

When using the Enum system, there are no links to a knowingly vulnerable data transmission channel (Internet), so the issue of hacking becomes very difficult, for example, for those radishes that stole money from my WM wallet. In any case, I really hope so.

But even with absolute impenetrability for hacking, it will not guarantee you one hundred percent protection. There are examples of the successful use of social engineering so that the user working through Enum himself takes actions that allow hackers to gain access to electronic money.

But this can no longer be foreseen in advance, because at times we are all so wrapped up that we are able to do some actions simply on the machine, without wondering about the expected consequences. This is psychology, and the criminals involved in this type of fraud are quite good at it.

Let's now see what Enum Storage is in practice, in relation to your WebMoney wallets and your mobile phone.

Consider possible ways authorization depending on the device you use (mobile phone model or fingerprint scanner) and how your phone number and address are linked mailbox. And finally, we will set up the use of Enum in the keeper instead of the authorization traditionally accepted in WebMoney.

Registration in the E-num system

To get started, you need to go registration(we will assume that you have already chosen a method and received a WMID).

At the same time, of course, indicate your true data, because the case is related to money and you may always need to confirm your identity. Be careful with the same security question, which will help you restore the ability to manage your WebMoney money after losing access to the phone specified during registration (anything happens, you know).

Please note that the second option is not suitable for all phone models, but only for those based on Android, Windows Mobile, iPhone/iPad, or Java-enabled (but seems to be Symbian only).

And then to the specified number cell phone you will receive an SMS with an activation code and, if you have chosen the Enum type, authorization through mobile client, then you will also be provided with a WAP link, by clicking on which you can download a mobile client (a program for a smartphone that allows you to further increase the security of your work compared to sending ordinary SMS messages with a key).

Unfortunately, my phone is not suitable for installing the “Mobile Client” (it is already old, but terribly convenient), so I have to be content with SMS messages with an authorization code. But if your phone allows you to install the program, then do it without hesitation, because this will make Enum Storage even more invulnerable, and also allow save a little.

The fact is that for each SMS sent to your mobile phone when making a payment or transfer to WebMoney via Enum, you will be charged a commission equivalent to 0.05WMZ.

Plus, when choosing an authorization method via SMS messages, there is a limit of 5 messages per day, which you can use to authenticate on WebMoney sites or to enter the program Keeper Classic (this option activated in the keeper settings).

Now on the main page, select the item " Account” and you will be prompted to carry out your first authorization on the Enuma website using the method you have chosen:

Thus, you marked the beginning of a whole stage in your work with WebMoney currencies, because you got the opportunity to safely carry out following operations:

Setting up entry through Enum to keepers and WebMoney sites

Now let's look at how to set up all this splendor. Ideally, in order to achieve absolute security of work, you will need to set up mandatory authorization through Enum Storage when performing all possible operations, then hackers will not have a single chance of hacking.

Let's start by saying that it is possible to set up the entry to the keeper you are using (Classic, Light or Mini) through this system. Why might this be necessary? Well, in principle, it will be much easier and certainly safer to log in to the keeper not by entering a password and a key file, but only by entering a key received on a mobile phone.

In order for such login to Keeper Classic became a reality, you need to configure the transfer of the key file storage location to the so-called E-num Storage (which will be impossible for hackers to reach).

And you should also enter your registration E-mail and select the Enum authorization method you use from the drop-down list (in my case it is SMS message) in the settings of Keeper Classic: "Tools" - "Program Options" - tab "Security".

Confirm your actions using the method you just selected. That's it, now when you enter the program, you will need to select the "E-num Storage" option in the "Access key storage location" field, after which you can log in to it via SMS, a mobile client or a fingerprint scanner.

In addition, if you install Keeper Classic on another computer where there is no key file, this way of logging into Keeper via Enum will still allow you to successfully work with this program.

You can make similar settings in WebMoney Keeper Light. To do this, you will need to first log in to it. in the usual way using the Transfer certificate, and then select "Settings" - "Program settings" - the "Security" tab in the menu:

In the "Use for login" field, check the "Enum-authorization" field and on the next page indicate the mailbox to which your account is linked (in Enum). Next, login with via SMS or the other two options. Everything is very simple, as you can see.

Authorization through Enum on sites and payment in Merchant

Now let's see how you can make it so that you can carry out transactions with money and log in to their sites without starting the keeper. To get started, you will need to go to the service WebMoney Security by logging in using the Classic program or any other way to manage your accounts (Mini or Lite).

Go to the "E-Num authorization" tab and on the page that opens, enter the name of the mailbox to which your account on the Enuma service is linked. After that, you will be asked to authenticate using SMS or the other two options to confirm your ownership of this account.

That, in fact, is all, now you can enter any WebMoney system sites through ENum and make payments without using keeper, which is very convenient and, most importantly, much more secure.

If you suddenly want to start working again through WM Keeper, then re-enter this page Security service and click on the "prohibit authorization" button:

But you probably don't have to do this, because it's quite convenient to use Enum. Now just open the last tab:

And select the login method you use from the drop-down list (in my case, this is SMS) and perform all the necessary authorization operations using a mobile phone.

Let me remind you that you can log in using SMS no more than 5 times a day (because they are sent free of charge to you, and the WebMoney giant cannot afford to be generous indefinitely). When using the Enum client, there will be no restrictions on the number of inputs.

If you pay for services or make a purchase through the WebMoney Merchant system, then you also have the opportunity to select the Enum authorization option from the tabs offered:

Followed by standard procedure login method of your choice (SMS, mobile client or fingerprint reader). Let me remind you that for sending an SMS in this case (when paying for a product or service), you will be charged an additional commission in the amount equivalent to 0.05WMZ for each operation performed. When using the client, no commission is charged.

Confirmation of all transactions in WebMoney via E-num

In order to achieve absolute security in working with electronic money, it will be possible to include mandatory confirmation of all ongoing operations (transactions) through Enum. In this case, the attacker will not be able to perform any action without your knowledge, because only you will have access to the mobile phone.

True, the work in this case becomes somewhat paranoid, but what can you do for your peace of mind. So, you will again need to go to WebMoney Security and go to the "Confirmation of operations" tab.

Next, you will need to click on the "Connect" button opposite the Enum authorization method that you use, and on the next page, confirm your choice by clicking on the power button. Well, at the end you will be prompted to log in using the method you have chosen.

Now all operations in the WebMoney system will require fiddling with a mobile phone or a fingerprint scanner, which will be somewhat tedious for you, but your WM wallets will become simply impenetrable for hacking.

It is a pity that I do not have the opportunity to try the mobile client in action due to an outdated phone, but it is possible that I will soon change it to modern model.

Good luck to you! See you soon on the blog pages site

Most users of the WebMoney payment system, when logging into Keeper, do not even pay attention to such an authorization option as authorization using E-num Storage. After all, the traditional way of entering - using a login (in this case, WMID) and a password - has become familiar in the interfaces of the vast majority of programs.

E-num is an authorization system that provides high level security. Protection is provided by means of cryptography and at the architectural level. The secret key for data access is stored in the user's mobile phone or PDA, not in the computer. Thus, it can be used with different computers. There is also virtually no risk of key theft by Trojans.

When registering in the system, the user receives an SMS message with a link that can be used to download the client application to the mobile device. The phone must support Java, and the PDA must be based on Pocket PC (platform Microsoft Windows Mobile 2003 SE or higher). After that, all that remains is to activate your account in E-num by clicking on the link in the letter you received.

To authorize on a service connected to E-num, you need to enter a control number into the client application, which is displayed by the site before entering protected sections. After entering a number (it is called a "check number" or "question number"), the client application will generate a number answer according to an algorithm that is unique for each user (that is, different numbers will be generated for the same check number for different users). The answer number will need to be entered in a special field for the answer on the authorization form. Now you have access to protected sections.

This is what authorization looks like in general. But it can be used not only to launch Keeper, but also to enter secure sections of websites, banking systems, etc. The hardware part of the system consists only of a Java-enabled mobile phone. No expensive hardware keys are required. Also, no additional servers are needed for authorization, because all the necessary information is stored on the E-num server. The exchange of information is carried out through the interfaces provided by the E-num system through a secure https connection.

To connect WebMoney Keeper to E-num, you must first of all register in the system. When registering, you must specify the current e-mail (it does not have to match the address specified during registration in WebMoney). Next, you will need to download the E-num application to your mobile device and activate it.

After that, you need to launch WM Keeper Classic (version 2.4.0.2 and higher) and select Enum-Storage as the location for storing keys.

In the form that appears, you need to enter the e-mail specified during registration in E-num, and click "Next".

It is also possible to delete the key file from the previous storage location. It can be used by WebMoney members who later wish to log in only using E-num.

In the future, to authorize via E-num, you will need to select this authorization method in the start form, enter your e-mail, launch the E-num Client on a mobile phone or PDA, receive a response number in it and enter it into the Keeper authorization form.

Selecting an authorization type in WM Keeper

If the answer number was entered correctly, the system itself will determine and substitute the user's WMID in the form. All that remains is to enter the Keeper password.

When paying on sites that support E-num, it is proposed to enter the answer number in a special form on the site. The number-question is offered in the same place.

The main advantages of E-num are economy, convenience, reliability, mobility

As you can see, this method of authorization is cheap for ordinary customers, and for the WebMoney system, and for owners of online stores, services, etc. If, in addition, we take into account that the use of the system is free, then its availability will become even more obvious.

Another advantage of E-num is convenience. The user does not need to remember or write down (which is an additional dangerous factor) a lot of passwords for various services. There is also no need to resort to the dangerous practice of using one universal password for mail, ICQ, WebMoney... The system itself will generate a one-time password using a unique algorithm for each user. Thus, the system is very reliable.

With the active use of E-num, the mobile device becomes a significant risk factor. Theft, loss or breakage is highly undesirable

But it would be interesting to compare the frequency of theft of wallet key files and the frequency of theft and breakdown of mobile phones. The latter are probably more common. Therefore, access to a client that generates one-time passwords (that is, response numbers) must be protected with a password. Now the loss of the phone will be fraught not only with the loss of the device itself, the list of contacts, money in the account, but also the possibility of losing access to the electronic wallet.

We also note that E-num authorization is still widespread on a small number of sites and services. Most of them are somehow connected with WebMoney: WebMoney Mail, Digiseller.ru, Capitaller.ru, BXOD.com. It is likely that with the spread of WebMoney, the number of services supporting E-num will also increase.

Most stores that accept WebMoney as payment make payments through the WebMoney Merchant service. In this case, it is possible to pay for the purchase without launching Keeper at all. You just need to enter the e-mail specified during registration in a special form, and then the response number generated by the application in the mobile device. Thus, the wallet key file can not be used at all, but kept in a safe place on removable media. In combination with blocking by IP address, this will significantly increase the overall security of the wallet. Especially this feature will please users of alternative browsers or OS Linux, Mac OS. They will not need to use a variety of emulators or virtual machines.

Authorization via E-num is also useful for frequently traveling WebMoney users. They will be able to fully manage wallets from mobile devices. They can be accessed from any computer (this was previously possible using WebMoney Keeper Light) without the need to transfer the key file. In fact, it is in a mobile device.

As you can see, the niche of the E-num system has not yet been occupied, but there was a demand for it. Now it's up to the proposal - an increase in the number of WebMoney projects and other projects connected to E-num. After all, it was originally created as an independent service.

Since the E-num Webmoney service appeared, it has become easy and convenient to log in to an electronic wallet. But, most importantly, such authorization makes using the service safer. Even though it's enough new technology, Enum gives users a sense of security and safety. Thanks to her, you can not worry that outsiders can forge a password and enter your WebMoney personal account.

What is E-NUM and what does it give Webmoney users

In modern computer world many users already prefer the E-num system, thanks to which you can log in to various services, including Webmoney. Such authorization can give customers a high level of security and ensure the reliability and safety of data.

Unlike other systems for entering the personal account of the service, Enum stores authorization data in the memory of the phone or tablet, which allows you to protect them from computer viruses.

As for e-wallet, then if you enable E-num in Webmoney, this will allow you to use the service to enter Keeper, to change settings and information, to confirm operations. And these are just the key aspects of working with the application.

ENUM work scheme

Logging in to sites through E-num is simple and convenient, because it happens through electronic key stored on your device. The main thing is that the system makes it possible not to remember endless passwords and not lose access to your profiles.

Thanks to ENUM, you are protected from losing or stealing your password. The system itself works according to the formula: question-answer. It looks like this:

In the corresponding field, when entering online wallet, you must provide an email address.
A number-question appears in the field that opens.
The user must open the E-NUM application on their device and enter the question number. This can be done manually or by scanning the code.
On the display of the phone or tablet, the number-answer will be displayed, which must be entered in a blank field and click "enter".

Remember that you have limited time to enter the answer number. After a few seconds, the code disappears from the screen. This is done to improve security.

Regular registration on the E-NUM website

Before connecting E-num to WebMoney, you need to register on the service itself. In order to create an ENUM client, you will need a phone and mail that have never been used when registering in this system. Authorization takes place in several stages, the order of which looks like this:

If you didn't receive a confirmation on your mobile, then the system has failed. Send a second request after 5 minutes if the SMS with the code is still not received.

To start using E-num, all you have to do is download the application to your phone or tablet and activate it. The system is activated automatically after the application is launched.

Registration in ENUM during authorization on the WebMoney website

The second way to activate E-NUM is to use authorization in Webmoney. This option can only be used by those users who have verified data to log into their Webmoney account.

Confirmation of operations through ENUM

To confirm transactions through E-num, it is necessary that this technology was connected. You can do this in personal account WebMoney, as follows:

Access is open, and you can not only enter your wallet using E-NUM confirmation, but also confirm all transactions in the wallet using this reliable service.

What is Enum and how does it work?

Many associate E-num technology exclusively with WebMoney electronic money. Without even going into details, what is E-num and how it works. This technology was created not only for electronic money and today has about 3 million users worldwide. The number of users is growing rapidly, because E-num is an innovative authorization service that provides a high level of protection.

What is E-num

E-num is used for authorization in the system and for authorization of the most significant actions. This statement is true not only for WebMoney, but also for any other services that have connected E-num. The technology allows you to authorize the user or any of his actions. Authorization is as secure as possible, since to complete the operation you need to enter a secret key that comes to the client's phone.

How the technology works

E-num technology can be compared to 3D-Secure banking technology. In both cases involved mobile phones and secret keys. When using E-num technology, the phone receives a number that is the only correct answer for the operation. This number must be entered in the form on the site or in the keeper. The most popular service using this technology is WebMoney.

WebMoney allows you to use technology for authorization in the system in order to gain access to your wallets, as well as to confirm transfer transactions. This protects the wallet from unauthorized access. To perform transactions, you must have your phone with an E-num client, and this makes stealing your money an almost impossible task for attackers. The technology is as reliable as possible and has proven itself well over the past 6 years. But it still raises a lot of questions:

How to register in E-num;
Where to download the application;
How to activate;

Regardless of which site or service you use the enum, the algorithm of actions is the same. Let's consider all the questions using the WebMoney wallet as an example, since this is the most popular service that uses E-num authorization.

E-num registration

Registration is available through the official website of the system - www.enum.ru. Registration through the application is available only to owners of smartphones based on Android. To use E-num you need any smartphone or tablet running on iOS, Android, Windows Phone or BlackBerry.

Registration in the system is available on the page: https://www.enum.ru/registration_init.aspx , you need to fill in all the fields and click on the "Continue" button.

The system will automatically send you an e-mail with a verification code. This code must be copied and entered in the form that opens.

After confirming the email address, the system will send a verification code to the phone number. The code comes to the numbers of all operators, including foreign ones. After entering the verification code, you will be prompted to download the E-num client to your smartphone or tablet.

You need to download and install the app on your smartphone or tablet. When you first start you will have to activate your account, where you will be given an activation code. Be sure to save this code, as you will need it if you want to reinstall the client on another device.

Where to download the E-num client

After registering in the system, you will be prompted to download the client from official sources. These are the only sources where you can safely download E-num. Below are the official links, you need to choose the client according to your OS:

The developers are constantly updating the client, and we strongly recommend that you keep the application in the newest state. Your money in the WebMoney system depends on this application, so it often becomes a subject hacker attacks, a latest version, as a rule, the most protected and reliable.

How to use E-num

E-num is positioned as a universal authorization service. WebMoney is only the largest service using this technology. In addition to WebMoney, this technology is used by shops, closed portals and other Internet services that need secure authorization. As of November 2016, 2.83 million people used the system. Most of them use E-num for authorization in the WebMoney system.

How to connect E-num to WebMoney

If you want to use E-num to log in to WM Keeper, you will need to do the following:

Overwrite the keys in the E-num storage;
Restart the WM Keeper client;

Keys are overwritten using the WM Keeper WinPro (Classic) client. To do this, go to the program settings and find the "Key storage location" tab, which is located in the "Security" section. After changing the storage location, you need to log in to the system again. From now on, authorization in the system will occur in conjunction with your keeper and E-num client:
