Token-Based Digital Identity Devices
Replacing static passwords with strong two-factor authentication is an essential step for securing corporate networks, applications, and information assets. ActivCard® delivers this capability in the form of easy-to-use key chain and pin pad tokens. ActivCard Tokens combined with ActivCard AAA Server provide a comprehensive, high performance two-factor authentication solution right out of the box. Millions around the globe have made ActivCard digital identity technology an essential component for securing their online business systems.
Key Advantages
Increased Network Protection and Transaction Integrity:
*Before a one-time-use password is generated, ActivCard two-factor authentication requires the user to have the token and know the PIN.
*Unlike static passwords, dynamic passwords cannot be reused or guessed.
*Digital signing of transactions certifies data integrity and validates user identity.
Streamlined Administration and Authentication:
*Deployed with ActivPack AAA services, authorized users securely authenticate to VPN and remote access servers, Web-based applications, WLAN, and other network services.
*ActivCard Tokens reduce the costs associated with static password maintenance and related security policy enforcement.
Flexible Deployment for Large Numbers of Users:
*With ActivCard AAA Server,, administrators can effectively manage token distribution, initialize tokens, and define user authorization and access rights.
*The same back-end systems that administer ActivCard Tokens also support ActivClient smart card and Single Sign-On clients — delivering a clear bridge and migration path to consolidated SSO, PKI, digital signature, and biometric solutions.
