TDN App

A TDN App is not necessary in order to use TDNs for payments or transfers. It is just an application storing TDNs on a digital device connected to the Internet and performing TDN transactions.

Software developers have unrestricted access to the TDN API and they can develop specific application based on a particular user need. For example functionality can be implemented in the TDN Application to connect to the bank where the user has an account and withdraw or deposit TDNs. The Central Bank may require developers to register in order to prevent abuse.

A TDN Application can be installed on a PC/Mac or any a mobile device. The functionality of a TDN Application may support some or all of the following transactions

  • List the values of the TDNs stored on the host device and their status.
  • Removed canceled TDNs from the device (manually or automatically).
  • Keep a history of transactions performed by the application.
  • Select a TDN stored on the device and set or change the PIN or PKI security
  • Select a TDN stored on the device and split a TDN with a smaller, specified amount.
  • Select two TDNs stored on the device and consolidate them in a single TDN.
  • Connect with the bank and withdraw a TDN from the user's account.
  • Connect with the bank and deposit a TDN to the user's account.
  • Select a TDN stored on the device and print the TDN's bar code on the screen of printer (if available)
  • Read a TDN barcode , store it on the device and request ownership.
  • Facilitate copy and paste text or bar code input
  • Select a TDN and e-mail it as a bar code or text.
  • Select a TDN and SMS it as a bar code or text.
  • Perform all necessary application setup.

The application is implemented using the published TDNSYS API. Not all the above features have to be implemented an applications and other functionality may be added. TDN Apps must be acquired only from safe sources. Banks may supply them free of charge to their customers.

Using a TDN App requires some understanding of TDNSYS and computer abilities. The app users have to be aware about TDNs Security. Users who do not want to wary about this will use a TDN Based Debit Card.
