Adoption:

• Active: Can be inserted into present systems without having to change existing..�

A WCode Encoder will encode the verification code right before it is dispatched to the user.

A WCode Decoder will decode it back to the original verification code right after it is entered by the user.�

• Passive: At the receiving end a separate standalone tool can be used to input WCoded data.
