Trinity -- The Heart of the Solution

Trinity is ActivCard's scalable authentication software framework that improves security, enhances user convenience, reduces costs and increases productivity. Trinity is unique in that it combines strong authentication with single sign-on, and uses a range of powerful and secure authentication factors.

• Trinity verifies the user's identity, then allows access with a single, secure sign-on to one, some or all applications at once.
  

• Trinity supports all major platforms (Windows NT, Novell, popular Public Key Infrastructures [PKIs], Bloomberg and more), most currently available software applications, and Web forms.
  

• Trinity works with any combination of authentication factors, including passwords, tokens, smart cards or biometrics, and allows different combinations for different users.
  

• With Trinity, you're not tied to ActivCard hardware. Other manufacturers' devices are supported through standard interfaces.
  

• Trinity is completely scalable -- from a few users in one location to literally tens of thousands scattered around the globe. And it offers the flexibility to easily add additional authentication factors such as smart cards, tokens or biometrics if you don't already have them.
  

• Trinity is quickly and easily deployed with no end user downtime. Add Trinity Client to your standard desktop build and activate it when you're ready.
  

• Trinity is easily and efficiently administered. The Trinity Administration Tool allows for complete user management, from credential management to biometric enrollment and smart card issuance.
  

• Trinity Server integrates itself with your current LDAP directory so that only a single incident of each user needs to be maintained within the organization.
  

• For added user convenience, Trinity can capture any login dialog and Web form that requires a password and can enable access with one password or other authentication factor.
  

• Trinity is a powerful, proven software application in regular service today at J.P. Morgan Chase, the Toronto-Dominion Bank, and many other financial, government, pharmaceutical and medical enterprises.

• What's New in Trinity 3.2
  Trinity version 3.2, released in September, 2001, provides users and administrators with a number of new capabilities that increase security, performance and ease-of-use. In addition, Trinity 3.2 further expands the wide range of options needed for successful enterprise authentication deployments.

• Datakey model 330 FIPS 140-1 Level 2 smart card
  Trinity now supports the Datakey Model 330 32K smart card. This next-generation card not only doubles typical smart card capacity from 16 kilobytes to 32 kilobytes, but is also FIPS 140-1 Level 2 compliant - a prime requirement for numerous smart card projects.

• Additional hardware support
  Thanks to Trinity's unified biometric architecture, users can enroll or verify transparently between all supported fingerprint scanners, including ActivCard's own BioMouse and BioMouse Plus. A wide range of hardware options and complete interoperability between the different devices delivers unprecedented flexibility to enterprise organizations.

• Precise Biometrics
  Trinity now supports the Precise Biometrics 100A fingerprint reader and the 100SC combined fingerprint and smart card reader. These compact devices feature silicon finger sensors and USB interfaces.

• Chicony and Digital Persona
  Trinity now also supports the Chicony keyboard with integrated fingerprint scanner and smart card reader. The keyboard uses Digital Persona fingerprint scanning technology. For desktop authentication without an added peripheral, the Chicony keyboard is a viable option.

• Biometric verification that improves over time
  Trinity now features Biometric LearningTM, a technology that allows for changes in fingerprint structure and skin condition over months or years of use. This is particularly valuable in locales that experience large changes in climate during the course of a year and makes biometric verification applicable to previously problematic users. Developed for ActivCard's Fortune 500 clients, Trinity's Biometric Learning technology offers a significant improvement in biometric verification performance and overall ease-of-use - without any decrease in security.
