Two Factor Authentication at its Most Versatile

The Authenex® Strong Authentication System (ASAS®)

The ASAS® two factor authentication system helps organizations of all sizes protect access to networks, Web sites and OWA email. Our customers know that ASAS® System two factor authentication allows access only to authorized users, by requiring them to authenticate the same way an ATM does – with something they have (in this case, a small token) and something they know (a password/PIN). Anyone who can't authenticate, doesn't get access.

The ASAS® System is a perfect fit for EVERYTHING AnyWare™, because it provides the highest level of security, while ensuring that access to our customers' critical information is simple and easy to use.
- Jeff Goodey, Chief Technology Officer, ASIERUS, Inc.

The ASAS® System can be extended to provide more than just two factor authentication. Through the use of Authenex A-Key® tokens and optional software, the ASAS® System can also help an organization's users:

ACert™ Software enables users to securely store digital certificates in the secured, encrypted memory of A-Key® tokens. Once stored, users can securely manage and use certificates for any PKI-related activities (including authentication, email security and Smart Card Login) everywhere they go.
My A-Key™ Software enables users to securely store Web credentials in the secured, encrypted memory of A-Key® tokens and automatically and securely log in to Web sites anywhere, without touching a keyboard and thus leaving a record of username or password on the host computer for key loggers to record.
A-Key® 4000 and 4500 tokens securely store mobile information in extremely secure USB flash memory that keeps such information safe from intrusion, loss and theft.

Easy to Install, Maintain and Administer Two Factor Authentication

You don't have to be a technical guru to install, administer and use ASAS® System two factor authentication. It is as easy to install as a word processor: simply insert the installation CD and follow the instructions. Installation and configuration usually takes about half an hour.

Using a Web browser, even low-tech people can perform most administrative tasks anywhere, any time. In large companies, this reduces IT costs, while the system can relieve smaller companies (who cannot afford IT staff) of cumbersome maintenance contracts.

The User Self Service Center module enables two factor authentication end users to perform routine A-Key® token management and deployment tasks, which include initializing tokens, requesting replacements for lost or stolen tokens, requesting temporary OTP numbers, etc. Having users do these jobs reduces IT costs and frees up IT staff for the more technical issues they face.

Scalable Two Factor Authentication

The ASAS® System can scale to handle the two factor authentication needs of small and medium sized businesses as well as enterprises with thousands of users. While enterprises need large, custom two factor authentication deployments, small and medium sized businesses can implement two factor authentication by purchasing and installing pre-packaged versions of the ASAS® System at set prices.

Cost Effective Two Factor Authentication

Security shouldn't cost an arm and a leg. The ASAS® System is very competitively priced, which provides superior return on investment. And there are no hidden costs, no unknown future commitments, no unusual fees hanging over your head - no surprises and NO renewal fees.

More Than Two Factor Authentication

All Authenex software products utilize A-Key tokens, which enables our customers to add features to their security solution. Depending on the token(s) selected, an organization can deploy Challenge/Response and/or One time Password authentication; encrypted, secured USB flash drive storage; portable certificate storage and use; and portable, secure Web credential storage and log in.

Besides being a versatile hub for ASAS System extension, all USB A-Key tokens have several features in common:

Convenient size easily fits onto a key ring.

Any information stored on A-Key tokens is encrypted, so you know it's safe. Depending on the token used, users can securely store Web Credentials, bank account information, FTP/IM/VPN credentials, as well as files, pictures, etc. This functionality is built into the hardware and cannot be altered or erased.

All USB A-Key® tokens have up to two levels of password protection: user and administrator. Passwords can be defined for both levels, or one for each. Separating the passwords enables a higher level of token security and enables enterprise administrators to maintain a high degree of consistency and control over tokens they deploy.

Brute force access protection secures all stored data against loss or theft: if anyone tries to log in to the token and fails a specified number of times, the token will erase all user data and restore itself to factory default settings. This functionality is also built into the hardware and cannot be altered or erased.

Versatile, Secure Certificate Use and Web Logon Security

Optionally, My A-Key™ software and ACert™ software can be installed on A-Key® tokens. ACert™ software provides secure certificate storage and use. This enables A-Key® tokens to be used for any PKI-related activities, including Windows Smart card logon. My A-Key™ software enables the secure storage of secure Web site login credentials, as well as secure Web site log in. With My A-Key™ software, users can securely and automatically log in to Web sites without leaving log in credentials wherever they go. And since My A-Key™ software and ACert™ software come pre-installed on Authenex A-Key® tokens, all users receive all the benefits of the token.
