Entrust IdentityGuard Mini Token

Versatile and convenient, Entrust now offers the security of one-time-password tokens to provide strong authentication for enterprises, governments and consumers.

Entrust IdentityGuard Token - Quantity One: $5Small form, big introduction
Who would have thought that the introduction of something as small as the new Entrust IdentityGuard Mini Token could have such a huge impact on the authentication market. The Entrust IdentityGuard Mini Token and its industry-first $5 price tag eliminates past barriers to leveraging hardware tokens as part of a versatile authentication platform.

With its smart, simple, one-button design, the Entrust IdentityGuard Mini Token offers easy-to-use capabilities that can be deployed alone or in combination with other authentication methods as part of the Entrust IdentityGuard platform — a highly respected versatile authentication solution.

Affordable, smart pricing from Entrust
Priced at $5 per token, the Entrust IdentityGuard Mini Token demonstrates that secure, reliable hardware authentication can be had at an attractive price. The real value for organizations is the ability to leverage affordable tokens — in parallel with the full spectrum of authentication options in Entrust IdentityGuard — to provide security across a range of users and transactions.

The industry-first pricing structure reflects Entrust's focus on providing flexible, layered security through an open authentication platform, instead of restricting organizations to a single, inflexible method of authentication.

Token tandem
To provide an attractive range of options for a variety of security-conscious organizations, the Entrust IdentityGuard Mini Token is available in two different variants. First, the Entrust IdentityGuard Mini Token OE supports the OATH algorithm for broad, open-standard compatibility.

In addition, the Entrust IdentityGuard Mini Token AT includes time- and event-synchronous authentication via a one-time password.

The Entrust IdentityGuard Mini Token features:

  • OATH and DES/3DES algorithm support
  • Clean, compact, one-button design
  • Six- and eight-year battery life expectancy (dependent on version)
  • Waterproof up to 1 meter
  • Seamless Entrust IdentityGuard integration

Stronger, smarter
The Entrust IdentityGuard Mini Token lasts longer than other options on the market. Durability is born from the token design, power conservation, long battery life and no self-expiration. Stop repurchasing the same tokens over and over again — Entrust IdentityGuard Mini Tokens can last up to eight years, providing a key advantage over three-year leased tokens. This longevity enables organizations to deploy authentication strategies over time, without constraints based on shorter life spans.

Perfect for the pocket
To complement both versions of the Entrust IdentityGuard Mini Token, the Entrust IdentityGuard Pocket Token* is a high-quality, secure hardware authentication device that boasts advanced security features, including challenge-and-response and local PIN authentication.

Integration with the Entrust IdentityGuard Platform
As part of a strong, layered security strategy, the Entrust IdentityGuard platform offers a variety of versatile authentication options ranging from machine and knowledge-based authentication to physical second factors such as Entrust's patented grid-based authentication and the Entrust IdentityGuard Mini Token.

With competing security solutions, organizations are forced to choose a single authentication method for all their users. This inflexibility has forced undesirable tradeoffs between security, cost and usability.

By offering a choice of capabilities as part of a versatile authentication platform, Entrust IdentityGuard allows organizations to tailor security across a wide range of users, transactions and applications. This helps enable organizations to apply strong authentication based on transaction risk and user need.

Entrust Public Key Infrastructure (PKI)

Public key infrastructure or PKI refers to a system that provides certificate management for digital certificates. Digital certificates contain public key pairs that can be used for encryption, digital signature and authentication security. Entrust PKI security solutions help government agencies and corporations to secure their digital identities and information.

Specialized "passport PKI" is used by governments to verify and secure data stored on a chip imbedded in passports issued to citizens. Epassport PKI involves the use of PKI by governments to secure data stored on a chip imbedded in a passport. The government acts as a certification authority that issues the digital certificates used in an ePassport system.

Entrust is a trusted provider of network security solutions that include digital certificates, managed PKI certificates, two factor-authentication, ssl certificates, token authentication, smart card PKI and encryption software.
