DIGIPASS® smart pack for Windows®

SECURE PASSWORD STORAGE

Your universal authentication solution for Windows® operating systems, Windows® terminal server environments, applications, web sites, and portals.

STRONG DIGIPASS AUTHENTICATION

The Digipass® authentication suite is a software system installed on the client PC that supports all necessary authentication processes in a highly secure way. Digipass® smart pack replaces the single-factor login sequence of user name and password, with a proven security technology: strong two-factor authentication based on Smart Cards. The Digipass® solution requires authorized users to demonstrate that they possess both a Digipass® Smart Card and a private PIN-code. This two-factor authentication technology works with clients connected to a network as well as with stand-alone PCs.

Digipass™ smart pack is easily installed and integrated with your client and server software environment. It does not replace or change the underlying functionality of other software or operating system components. No special programming is required. Digipass® Smart Pack adds another security layer to the native security components of MS GINA (Graphical Interactive Network Authentication) or proprietary authentication modules. There is no need to create new user accounts neither, ensuring the lowest administrative costs.

SMART CARD SECURITY

Smart Cards are the most secure data containers known in the IT world. Due to their ISO (International Standards Organization) based Operating Systems, no mal-ware software components (like viruses, Trojans, spy-ware, etc.) designed for Windows® or other industry standard operating systems can be applied. In addition, due to the well known security framework of a smart card a PIN is required to access data. After three wrong PIN entries the card is locked and can be unlocked only by providing a correct PUK. After entering wrong PUKs for a few times, the card is permanently locked and can only be disposed. According to this security framework, brute force attacks to enable unauthorized access to user authentication information can be completely avoided.

OUTSTANDING VERSATILITY, UNMATCHED EASE

Besides strong authentication to local and server based operating systems, Digipass® smart packoffers user authentication for a tremendous number of applications, web sites, and portals. Certificates for digital signatures and encryption keys can be stored alongside standard usernames and passwords credentials. Hence,confidential and secure transmission of e-mails and documents can be provided over the net. In addition, Digipass® smart pack optionally incorporates the SUCA (Smart User & Card Administration) software, an extremely versatile user and card administration solution.

Digipass® smart pack helps you control your total cost of ownership. A simple automatic wizard supports the installation on the client side. There is no adoption required to make Windows® operating system or other application programs or web sites smart card enabled.
