CRYPTOCard
CRYPTOCard Tokens are an effective and economical solution for organizations that want to eliminate the risks presented by static, shared, stolen or easily guessed passwords. As with other two-factor authentication systems, protected resources can only be accessed when a user combines their security Personal Identification Number (PIN) (something only they know) with a one-time passcode (newly generated by their unique authenticator for each logon). But that's where the similarity ends.
Selected by NASA in 1989 and employed by thousands of organizations of all sizes around the globe since then, CRYPTOCard tokens resolve the competing priorities of:
End-users
who want simplicity and fewer passwords. With CRYPTOCard, users only
need two things: their token and their security PIN. There are never
any passwords to remember or change;
Security Administrators
who must protect systems by enforcing frequent password changes and
increased password complexity. With CRYPTOCard, the user's password
changes automatically every time they log on. Security Administrators
will find that our extensively configurable tokens provide significant
improvements in security, usability and time-in-service over competing
token authentication systems;
Budgets
that impose trade-offs between programs, technology and staff. With
CRYPTOCard your solution is often paid for in months through reduced
demand on staff, help-desks and reduced password management costs.
One-time licensing fees, replaceable batteries and an industry leading
5-year warranty are just a few of our qualities that let you control
cost and determine the solution's life-span;
Flexibility
because every user is different and not all requirements are identical,
CRYPTOCard authenticators are available in a wide-range of formats
and styles to provide the utmost in convenience, portability, durability,
interoperability and multi-role functionality.
