SCG Features & Benefits

SCG main features:

  • Length of codes: 4 to 100 characters *
  • Type of codes: Numeric, alphanumeric, arbitrary alphabet **

Properties of codes:

  • Verification information included in the same code.
  • Doesn't require storage of generated codes.
  • Unpredictable codes using cryptographic techniques and not arbitrary algorithms.
  • Level of security can be calculated precisely based on the code's length.

Applications:

  • Coupon codes generation for business & marketing campaigns.
  • PIN generation.
  • Phone cards identification for prepaid cards in software like Asterisk.
  • Fiscal codes.
  • Obfuscation of numbers for different purposes.
  • Integration with Twitter for promotional purposes (i.e: autoresponder, autoreply).

* Smaller lengths are used to generate random codes but they don't offer the required security since guessing a code is easier.

** Please contact us for specific requirements in the case of code with an arbitrary alphabet.
