Token
Based Authentication adds a third layer of security by requiring an
additional piece of information to authenticate a user. This third
piece of information is a "one time password" generated
by a "Token".
This
additional security allows organisations to securely open particular
ports on a firewall, such as a CyberGuard,
without compromising network security. These ports can then be used
to allows remote users to securely gain access to internal resources
without the need for a pre-configured VPN client, which is the most
commonly used alternative method of delivering remote access.
Practical
implementations include access to:
Microsoft
Outlook Web Access Client
Citrix
Metaframe (NFUSE)
Lotus
Domino
Vasco Authentication will soon be extended to cover
Windows Domain authentication, requiring users to log in with username,
password and Token number to access their workstation.
When CyberGuard
and Vasco technologies are combined it is possible to allow secure
access to almost any network resources without the need for specifically
configured client machines.
Vasco Tokens have both Remote Access
and Banking Authentication implementations. Below are just three
examples of Remote Access Authentication Tokens.
Digipass GO 1 Token
Digipass Go 1 is ultra-portable and can
be used anywhere, anyhow and at any time. It can be carried
in a shirt pocket, clipped on a belt, worn on a necklace or
as a classy key holder. This is reinforced by its stylish
design. The combination of aesthetics and security will ensure
that users will like to deploy and to wear the Digipass Go
1.
Ultra-portable, Strong Authentication for
highest convenience and User Acceptability. The GO 3 is also
able to carry corporate logos, branding and custom colours
to suit your business. The Digipass GO 3 is the perfect balance
between an elegant design, and an unrivaled degree of portability
and affordability in an easy to use security device.
Both Digipass GO 1 & 3 Tokens give users the required
authentication code quickly and easily at the push of a single
button. For even more security Tokens such as the PRO 250
(below) require a user to enter a PIN number to unlock the
device before getting the authentication code.
Digipass PRO 250
The Digipass Pro 250 opens the door to a
no-nonsense, flexible security environment. With its hand
fitting design and a keypad that has been reduced to the strict
minimum, a user can handle and understand it in minutes. This
means that the need for a manual is practically zero and customer
calls to the helpdesk will also be minimal. Hence the Digipass
Pro 250 is the ideal password protected personal identification
device for situations where speed of roll-out and cost-efficiency
are crucial.
