What is Enum and how does it work? Using Enum to securely log in and confirm all operations in WebMoney e num application on your computer

E-num is a special system that is necessary to access the WebMoney service (and not only) using a special encryption code. Essentially a database of keys for electronic wallets, it provides an improved level of security and ease of entry for users from electronic gadgets such as smartphones or tablets.

Another feature is that the service client does not have to remember its password (or several if there are many WMIDs). The login system is carried out according to the following algorithm:

The user goes to the authorization page of WebMoney or another portal with protected content and enters his email address in the required field.

After checking the e-mail, a numerical question is displayed in the authorization form.

Next you need to run mobile version E-num on your compact gadget, where you can enter the received question. After prompt processing of the data, the response will be displayed on the display. Or you can use the QR code, in which case you do not need to enter a question, the answer will appear immediately. Please note that you are given 5 seconds to enter your answer. If you didn’t have time, you will have to enter another answer!

The answer is entered in the authorization field, and if the combination is correct, then the client gains access to the account - he can work with wallets, transfer or accept money, add new cards, and so on.

How to get E-num?

Registration in this system requires the presence of the following tools: availability email address, mobile number and portable electronic gadget (phone, smartphone, tablet for any operating system from Android to Blackberry). To avoid confusion with email addresses, it is better to indicate in the E-num the same one that was used when logging into the Web wallet.

Methods of registration in the E-num system:

Go to www.enum.ru and follow the instructions to create a profile and then activate it.
When logging into the WebMoney website or making payment transactions, you will be offered two ways to confirm your identity: via SMS to your phone or E-num. Select the second option, and the system will automatically redirect you to the portal.
Supporters of the Android operating system can register with E-NUM directly from the client.

After receiving an account and authorization, you can proceed to setting up your account. Here you can leave only one of many confirmation methods, as well as download additional versions for all operating systems. If you lose access to E-num, you must use recovery tools or contact customer support.

Linking E-num to an electronic wallet

WebMoney is already well protected, but having an additional service obviously wouldn’t hurt. All user access keys are stored in a specialized E-num section and are used when the client needs it. So, you can access your wallet from any PC and not be afraid that your data will be stolen during entry. Passwords do not need to be saved in the browser or remembered - this guarantees security against forgetfulness and virus activity.

Setting up access to the wallet is done on this page https://security.webmoney.ru/asp/transconfirm.asp. You need to indicate your WMID and confirm your password, then a verification will follow, after which your money and personal data will be doubly protected. You can also check the link on the E-num website itself.

E-num is necessarily used not only for entry, but also when carrying out the most serious operations. These include: adjusting personal data, transferring funds from one wallet to another or paying to any seller, requesting or issuing loans, unlocking the trust limit in the debt service, and so on. By default, the system sets additional authorization on almost every page; the owner of the E-num account can change the parameters.

Due to the fact that the latest version WebMoney Keeper Classic 3.9.1.0 added functionality such as confirmation of transactions via modern system WebMoney user identification - Enum authorization service, it’s time to tell you about this service in more detail...

By the way, it should be said that users WebMoney Keeper Light the ability to confirm payments through the Enum service has existed for a long time, but for classic this option was only introduced now, but better later than never!

Let's start with the background. The system service has been operating for a long time, but mass connection to this service began to be observed only in October 2008, when the WebMoney credit exchange credit.webmoney.ru announced that entry to the exchange will only be possible using enum authorization. This announcement had a double effect - some WM participants were very happy about this innovation, understanding the beauty of such authorization, others became very indignant, frightened by the innovation. As one of the greats of this world used to say: “What they don’t know about, they don’t want!” But the fact is that participants in the credit exchange are users of the WebMoney system with certificates from basic and higher, and users with formal certificates and lower (the bulk ), we didn’t even hear about such a wonderful and secure method of authorization in the WebMoney system. Now we will eliminate this gap for everyone!..

In fact, there is nothing scary or difficult when connecting to the ENUM system, but the advantages of such authorization in the WM system are simply enormous. Many banks in the West have long been using this authorization method when clients use Internet banking - they simply issue a similar device to their clients directly at the bank when opening an account. The WebMoney system has simplified this process, allowing you to download and activate the enum client application without leaving your computer. With this application you acquire the following features that significantly increase your WM security:

— launch your WebMoney Keeper without storing the keys to it on your computer;
— make payments in the WebMoney system without even launching your keeper;
— log in to all sites and services of the WebMoney system, also without launching your keeper;
— it’s safe to run your WM keeper on any computer by simply downloading and installing it first;
— now, make payments in the system using authorization only using your enum client;
— make SMS confirmations of your transactions in the system.

Now, for those who are interested in such capabilities of the ENUM authorization system and who are not indifferent to the security of funds located in WM wallets, more details below...

— identification using the Question-Answer method from mobile devices;
— fingerprint identification from PCs and laptops.
— identification using the Question-Answer method via SMS.

The second type is absolutely reliable, but also more expensive, since not everyone has a fingerprint scanner, and probably everyone already has a mobile phone, so now we will consider the type of enum authorization in the WebMoney system - question answer, especially since it is closer to the format of our site. You will definitely need a mobile phone with support for Java MIDP 2.0, which all modern mobile devices now have, and it is also possible to work with devices on IPhone platforms, Windows Mobile And .

So you can imagine what it looks like Enum application on a mobile device, as an example, you can look at the screenshots of the program for the Android platform; this application also supports reading QR codes:

But, in any case, you must first register on the service website Enum.ru— (it’s easier to go to the Mini keeper SETTINGS and click the link to connect ENUM, registration in the service will happen automatically).

There you need to fill in the appropriate fields, but here it should be noted that the email and phone number must be 100% your own and work, because all messages from the ENUM system will be sent to them, starting with the link to download the application and the activation code for it, as well as BE SURE to remember or write down your security question and the answer to it, it will be necessary in case you lose the enum client application for recovery (after all, anything can happen in life!), or to update the enum client application itself.

After registering with the service and selecting the application you need, in our case - question and answer using a mobile phone, you receive messages by email and mobile phone with a link to download an individual enum client and an activation code for it, and you need to follow this link, download and install the application on your mobile phone, then enter the activation code into it and enter the same activation code on the Enum service website itself. After activating your encryption pad (Enum client) on your phone, I strongly advise you to immediately delete these system messages with confidential data! Let me add that after installing and activating the Enum client on your mobile phone, it will no longer need an Internet connection; then it works locally on your phone, like a personal encryption pad - you enter some numbers, you get others corresponding to the ones you entered. However, it is worth noting that in the Enum service it is also possible to choose the Question-Answer authorization method through sending and receiving SMS to your mobile number phone, but I think you shouldn’t bother with this - there have been cases when SMS did not arrive for a long time, but the encryption pad works perfectly, besides, now only 5 SMS per day are allowed for authorization!

Next you need to go to the WM system security website Security.WebMoney.ru and in the section allow authorization on system sites WebMoney Transfer and payment through the service Merchant.WebMoney for your E-num.

That's all, as you can see, there is nothing complicated about it, now you are connected to the modern service authorization ENUM and you can already use it on sites and services of the WebMoney system, using your e-mal and enum client (section 'Authorization') during authorization, make payments without launching your keeper (you just need to select the section in the enum client 'Payment' '), but to ensure the complete safety of your keeper, i.e. To CORRECTLY delete the key file for your keeper from your computer, you still need to do the following - go to the SECURITY tab in your keeper (Tools -> Program Options -> Security):

Here we will be interested in 3 positions in the following sequence - change keys(we generate new keys to be completely sure that no one has copies), save keys to file(we save the new, just created, key file.kwm on a flash drive or other removable media so that you have it in case of force majeure or if you suddenly decide to refuse to use the ENUM service, although I don’t see any reason for this) and install key storage location— Enum Storage (remove the keys for the keeper from your computer), then click OK. The key file for accessing your keeper, after this action, is sent to a super secure storage Enum-Storage, which cannot be hacked, and will now be stored there forever, and will be automatically deleted from your PC. I think there is no need to say that these operations must be performed on a ‘clean’ machine, but, just in case, I would advise you to first check your PC with several antiviruses.

That's it, now the key file for accessing your keeper is securely protected and stored in a safe place, and you will need to exit the keeper to install a new type of login to your keeper - Enum-Storage, through which you will now log in constantly:

Here you need to change the old settings for entering your keeper to new ones, as shown in the figure above, i.e. set storage location E-num keys Storage, enter your e-mail registered in the Enum service for this WMID, select the authorization method - question and answer using the application, and click the ‘Next’ button to open the following window:

In it you will already see the question number to enter your keeper, in this case – ‘58715’, and you now need to open the application on your mobile phone EnumClient, select the ‘Authorization’ section and write these numbers in the window that appears, click OK, the application will give you an answer number, which you enter into the empty line of your keeper’s login window, where it says ‘enter the answer number’. If the numbers are correct, then the keeper will ask you for a password to enter it; if not, then it won’t let you in any further, or rather, it won’t let in an attacker who will try to enter your keeper without you!

But that's not all! Although they say that in the latest versions of the keeper they have already eliminated such a vulnerability as creating a file .init, but the information has not been verified, so I advise you to check it yourself. I already wrote how to do this in this article:

And finally, the last moment remained - confirmation of transactions in WebMoney Keeper Classic using ENUM, which is why this article was actually written. This innovation will seriously protect your keeper from unauthorized transfers, for example, by Trojans, which have been infesting the entire Internet for a long time, as well as using remote access to your computer, because the Enum client, which will give permission to carry out operations from your keeper using the 'question-answer' method, is only located on your phone and it is not possible for scammers to gain access to it simply physically and hardware-wise, if you, Of course, you won’t use various java simulators for it on your PC, as some “smart guys” manage to do!

To activate this option in your keeper, confirm transactions through the service Enum.ru(let me remind you that it became possible to install it at will, starting with the program version 3.9.1.0 , so you need to update the keeper for those who currently have a lower keeper version), you need to go to the WM security website Security.WebMoney.ru and simply activate the option, i.e. press the ON button:

After activating this option, everything Money transfers in your keeper will already be carried out only through the enum client on your phone and even correspondents in the keeper will be added through it... Of course, there will now be more hassle with confirming payments through Enum, but you will ensure complete safety your funds are in the keeper and you can sleep peacefully after that!

It remains to add that in case you lose your mobile phone, in the mobile application EnumClient it is possible to set a password to enter it, which makes it impossible for strangers to enter it, and you can always restore a new enum client on the service website, the main thing is that you can restore the phone number itself from your operator. Owners of several WMIDs can use the service as well, you just have to register a separate one in Enum for each WMID Mailbox and then change them during authorization...

That's probably all. A lot has been written, but I assure you that after carefully studying and following these recommendations, it will take you little time to connect to the authorization service, so I advise you not to put it off, but to start registering right now for full use of the WM system service, to ensure complete safety of title units on your WebMoney wallets...
