One of the greatest challenges in accepting a Two-Factor
Authentication solution is need for a simple and mobile
solution. Users often need to login to the network from any
source they can use. The need for pre-installed drivers or
secure certificate management can be a burden for an employee
using a workstation like an airport kiosk, where readers or USB
ports are often not available. The vulnerability of using a
static password login eliminates this option. A One-Time
Password (OTP) login is a secure choice in these situations. A
One-Time Password is used for exactly that, one time use. Most
of the risks from fixed passwords are eliminated when the
password constantly changes. The Authenex A-Key® token offers an
event generated One-Time Password for network authentication.
The A-Key is equipped with event button and LCD for users see
their 6-digit OTP value that will be used for authentication.
The A-Key works in conjunction with our Authenex Strong
Authentication System (ASAS™) server and has a battery life
beyond 5 years. Integrating ASAS into an existing network
infrastructure and deploying to users is fast and easy. For
consumer level users, it is a simple process that does not
require training or drivers.
The A-Key is multi-functional and offers more security
solutions beyond OTP. The on-board encryption engine on the
A-Key utilizes 128-bit AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) to
execute operations for the entire suite of Authenex e-Security
applications, including:
- Hard Disk Encryption
- Strong Authentication for VPN, Web and LAN
- Strong Web Access Control
- All-in-One Security Suite
- Secure File Transfer
- Digital Certificate Storage
