| Scorpion Software Releases AuthAnvil Using CRYPTOCard's SDK CRYPTOCard announces that Scorpion Software has released AuthAnvil, a strong two-factor authentication solution developed using CRYPTOCard's AuthEngine SDK and designed specifically to run on Microsoft's Small Business Server and Windows Server product lines. AuthAnvil enhances online trust and enables secure remote access to protected information assets by offering the ability to reliably prove user identities through the use of strong authentication. Utilizing CRYPTOCard's event-based KT-1 keychain tokens that generate new one-time passwords for every login attempt, AuthAnvil makes it simple and cost-effective for small businesses to eliminate the risks associated with traditional static passwords. AuthAnvil increases security by preventing reuse, sharing, or theft of passwords and thwarts phishing and other attacks targeting passwords. With AuthAnvil, users never need to remember passwords, reducing help desk calls and related costs. AuthAnvil also increases user satisfaction and productivity by removing the need to manage password changes, and makes it simple for SMBs to comply with new security legislation and privacy laws such as SOX and HSPD-12. AuthEngine is a major improvement in productivity and cost over traditional APIs that simply build a bridge between the custom application and a stand-alone authentication server. With AuthEngine there is never a need to purchase, install, and support a separate authentication server. AuthEngine will appeal to: · Web application developers, especially those building sophisticated workflow, subscription services and on-line self-service applications or using custom directories and databases. With AuthEngine, token-based authentication becomes "just another method"; · ISVs that want to improve their competitive edge and create additional revenue streams by adding, managing, or even licensing token authentication from within their product offering; · High Performance Computing environments that want to enforce token authentication in conjunction with Kerberos. write your comments about the article :: © 2007 Networking News :: home page |
