A number of challenges arise when attempting to conduct business over the Internet. These include identification and authentication of users, proving the authenticity of communicated information and controlling access to information and ensuring its privacy. Digital signatures have emerged as an invaluable element in achieving dependable solutions that promote user confidence in the safe conduct of business over the Internet. Introduction of Token-based systems solves one of the remaining weak links by removing reliance on software to protect vulnerable cryptographic components.
Tokens are small portable devices that extend the capability of laptops and desktop PCs.
Tokens safeguard the secret encryption and digital signature keys used in protecting electronic documents, commerce and communications. Being tamper resistant, they provide a much higher level of security than software alone. Being both credit card sized and a removable hardware device, they promote user mobility. All Rights Reserved.
