CRYPTO-Shield customer’s benefit from reducing the risk associated with static passwords and increase compliance with industry regulations, at a price any business can afford.

Benefits of CRYPTO-Shield

• Low Total Cost of Ownership: Many vendors have obsolescence built into their products, such as tokens that expire after 3 years or license contracts that need to be renewed annually. CRYPTOCard's strong password validation solution offers tokens with a 5-year warranty that never expire due to replaceable batteries. CRYPTO-Shield is also based on a perpetual license agreement, which requires that the license only needs to be purchased once. No annual license renewals required, just a low cost support and maintenance contract.
• Simplicity: CRYPTOCard prides itself in offering the easiest and most user-friendly positive identification and password validation solutions in the industry. CRYPTO-Shield is extremely easy to set up, the LDAP schema does not need to be changed and directories can be directly imported. The administration console allows for easy user and token management.
• Flexibility: CRYPTO-Shield's strong password validation solution has the ability to adapt to any type of network infrastructure an organization has in place, and is available for Windows, Linux, or Mac platforms. Customization tools are available to ensure CRYPTO-Shield meets security policies (as opposed to the policy itself having to be changed) and thus satisfy compliance requirements.
• Higher Security: Organizations can initialize their own tokens, therefore keeping the seed keys confidential. Encryption algorithms can be as strong as AES 256, and a one-time strong password can use an 8 character Base64 string – the most secure type of strong passwords available. CRYPTO-Shield also offers the option of attaching digital signatures for non-repudiation of signed documents or transactions for even more effective password validation.
• Greater User Satisfaction from Strong Passwords: Not only will organizations get the benefits listed above, the end users will be happier not having to remember complex passwords through effective password validation and will place fewer password related helpdesk calls.

AuthEngine

New AuthEngine allows companies to add Two-Factor Authentication to their already existing custom applications. It is Security on Your Own Terms. CRYPTOCard’s  AuthEngine was designed from the ground-up to be embedded in existing applications. It is lightweight, easy to implement, and is available in a variety of flavors to fit in with any development and implementation environment.
AuthEngine can be used to implement two-factor authentication wherever it is required, and looks to the application as just another authentication method.

Typical applications of AuthEngine SDK include:

• Integrated two-factor authentication in a custom applications, databases, web application servers, on-line transaction processing;
• Integrated two-factor authentication in security applications and appliances such as VPN gateways, firewalls, on-demand computing platforms;
• Token-based signing of on-line transactions such as web-banking, forms, etc. for non-repudiation;
• Out-of-band user authentication such as voice transactions;
• Kerberos two-factor authentication

CRYPTOCard Tokens

A token is a network access ‘key’ that is most easily compared to a bank card – to gain access to a protected network a user must a have a token – in the same way they need a bank card to use an automatic banking machine. The token is the physical and first factor of the two-factor authentication process, sometimes referred to as the ‘something only you have’ and which delivers a unique One-Time-Passcode when you press a button.
Tokens are available in three main types – hardware tokens, software tokens and on-demand tokens.

Hardware tokens are physical devices that, with the simple push of a button, generate a new one-time passcode. Configurable in many ways these tokens can deliver the highest degree of security. 

Software tokens come in a variety of types.  The token can reside on a user’s desktop or laptop (ideal and cost effective for anyone who only needs access from one computer) as well as being available for mobile equipment like our Software Token for Blackberry – which literally turns your Blackberry into your password generating device.  A range of ‘intelligent’ tokens are available as Smart Card and USB devices – these provide additional applications capabilities such as the storage of certificates or the ability to integrate with door access control systems.

On-demand tokens are provided using the SMS text capabilities of your mobile phone. On-demand tokens, also known as SMS Tokens are the easiest tokens you will ever use. The unique “OTP-Now” feature means that every time you go to log-in to your network the One Time Passcode that you need is sitting on your mobile phone ready for use. There is no need to log-in to a web site, no need to make a phone call - simply open a text message and away you go. And with no software or hardware to distribute it is probably also one of the most cost effective ways of securing your network.
