| CRYPTOCard Adds SMS Token to 2FA Managed Authentication Service CRYPTOCard has launched in the UK its new SMS Token as part of the CRYPTO-MAS Managed Authentication Service portfolio. The SMS token offers the flexibility of CRYPTOCard's existing two-factor authentication tokens - which are widely regarded as the most secure available – and additionally addresses the need for greater portability, affordability and simplicity, particularly among an enterprise's distributed workforce. Delivered as part of the CRYPTO-MAS Managed Authentication Service, it answers the market requirement for zero up-front investment and maximum ease of use. To gain access to the network using a traditional 2FA solution, users would enter their PIN and then press the button on a hand held device to get a unique One-Time-Password (OTP). Using the new SMS solution, the OTP is delivered to the user's mobile phone – there is no need to carry any additional devices. The solution uses CRYPTOCard's unique "OTP Now" feature which means that every time the user logs-in to their network, their unique OTP is waiting for them on their mobile phone; there is no waiting, no manual intervention and no additional hardware. CRYPTO-MAS is a unique managed service which provides a flexible, affordable solution using two-factor authentication technology, which positively identifies individuals before giving them access to applications, data and networks. CRYPTO-MAS simply sits in front of a company's remote access or VPN network – no hardware or software installation is required. High levels of security can be provided in a matter of minutes. CRYPTOCard is the only vendor to offer a strong authentication managed service, enabling the company to address a broad market spectrum of SMEs, mid market enterprises and large multi-nationals. write your comments about the article :: © 2008 Computing News :: home page |
