Token Security

Token security enables multifactor authentication

When organizations wish to implement a multifactor approach to authentication, token security becomes a critical issue. Multifactor authentication security requires users to present a combination of items when seeking to verify their identity and log in to an application.

These may include physical characteristics (such as a fingerprint or retinal scan), some kind of knowledge (such as a password or PIN) or something they have in their possession (such as a smartcard or token). Security of the organization depends on the quality of tokens used as well as the cost - affordable technology removes the barrier of cost when trying to implement token security on an organization-wide basis. For innovative solutions to token security that are also among the industry's most cost-effective, consider solutions from Entrust.

Entrust delivers innovative solutions for token security

Entrust USB Tokens provide organizations with the hardware to enable multifactor authentication to Web portals, WLANs, VPNs and desktops. Developed in collaboration with SafeNet, Entrust token security products work in tandem with Entrust's leading PKI product portfolio to deliver a scalable, comprehensive security solution for stronger authentication, SSL encryption and digital signatures.

When prompted during login, users can connect Entrust USB Tokens directly to a USB port or extension cable. When the PIN they enter matches the PIN on the token, access is granted by passing their digital credentials on to the network.

Entrust's solution offers the organization significant benefits:

• Extensibility. Because these USB devices can store a user's digital certificate and keys, they can be used for additional security capabilities such as digital signatures and encryption.
• Compliance. Entrust USB Tokens can aid organizations in complying with new security standards and global regulations that require the privacy of consumer, patient and client records, including HIPAA, Sarbanes/Oxley, California SB 1386, EU Digital Signature Director, FACTA Red Flags and German Digital Signature Law.
• Lower TCO. By helping to centralize the administration of security policy and automating security management, Entrust products help reduce the cost of deployment and ongoing maintenance.
