ActivCard
One delivers token-based digital identity for strong authentication
to
network-based systems, services and applications linked with back-end
systems enabled
with ActivCard services. Replacing static passwords with strong
digital identity is an
essential step for achieving e-business security, and ActivCard
One delivers this
capability in the form of an easy-to-use token. More than 1.5
million people around the
globe have made ActivCard digital identity technology an essential
component of their
e-business systems.
Key
Advantages
Increased network security:
ActivCard two-factor-based identity requires users to have the
physical token and to know
a personal identification number (PIN) before a dynamic password
is generated. Risk of
unauthorized access is significantly decreased with dynamic passwords
- these
credentials cannot be shared, reused or stolen for malicious access.
Cost-effective
security:
ActivCard One tokens bring an end to constant password maintenance
and the IT costs of
enforcing policies associated with static passwords. Integrated
authentication services
allow IT resources to be focused, instead, on the tangible returns
linked with connecting
people to streamlined Web-based communications and transactions.
Smooth
deployment to large numbers of users:
Linked with ActivCard server products, administrators can effectively
manage ActivCard
One token distribution, user privileges and remotely initialize
and resynchronize tokens.
ActivCard digital identity technology has been embedded into systems
from Axent, Lucent,
Novell and other leading network systems, increasing efficiencies
by leveraging the
existing administration and management systems.
Flexibility
geared for the future:
Ideal for mixed computing environments, ActivCard tokens enable
digital identity through
PCs, UNIX workstations, and network terminals. The same back-end
systems that support
ActivCard tokens seamlessly support the ActivCard Gold smart card
client, delivering a
clear migration path to support emerging PKI and digital signature
solutions.
Highlights
Patented
Technology:
One-time-use dynamic passwords generated on the token with standards-based,
three-variable algorithm.
Easy-to-Use:
Users simply type a PIN on the token keypad and press "Enter"
to create a secure
password for positive digital identity.
Anytime,
anywhere connectivity:
ActivCard One is smaller and thinner than other hand-held tokens
for mobility and
streamlined remote access from any location or network-connected
terminal.
Proven
scalability:
Supports large-scale digital identity solutions among many major
enterprise level
deployments is a global Internet banking provider with over 300,000
ActivCard tokens in
use.
