Aladdin Releases New Token Management System for Easy Deployment And Administration of Digital Identities and Authentication Devices
Nov-26-03
eToken TMS Serves as Robust Management Solution Allowing Organizations To Deploy and Manage Security Tokens, Smartcards and ID Badges
CHICAGO, - Aladdin Knowledge Systems, Inc. (Nasdaq: ALDN - News) today announced the availability of eToken(TM) TMS, a new Token Management System that allows organizations to easily deploy and maintain authentication devices, significantly streamlining the implementation process and eliminating the headaches of multiple, non-integrated solutions. eToken TMS is now offered alongside Aladdin's award-winning eToken, a fully portable USB authentication device the size of a normal house key.
Unlike existing identity management tools, eToken TMS seamlessly connects the user, the security device(s), the associated security application(s), the organization's rules and any PKI system. With eToken TMS, security tokens, smartcards and even ID badges are handled by the same system, supporting a comprehensive range of security applications including network logon, VPN, Web access, secure email and data encryption. This comprehensive approach to centrally managing digital credentials is a long-awaited need for thousands of organizations that utilize numerous types of authentication solutions at several locations for different levels of access.
The numerous unique features within eToken TMS include:
— Complete token life cycle management
-- Open architecture via configurable connectors
-- Built on Active Directory Technology with full support for any
LDAP-compliant user repositories
-- Local and remote Web enrollment and maintenance of hardware devices and credentials
-- Integrated software deployment to users' desktops
-- USB and smartcard personalization and printing
-- USB token, proximity coils and magstrip data
-- Unblock / reset user PIN
-- Profile and key backup
"With eToken TMS, an organization is empowered to run a comprehensive, centrally-managed identity management system addressing a variety of authentication devices," said Leedor Agam, vice president of eToken and eBusiness Solutions at Aladdin Knowledge Systems. "Customers feedback from using this system is exceptional. We simply managed to automate the whole deployment, enrolment and maintenance processes under a unified management system, while significantly decreasing the investment required to educate administrators. eToken TMS is a complete token and smartcard management system that offers a level of customization and flexibility never before available."
"The need to provide organizations with a simple method of deploying and maintaining authentication devices continues to grow as larger and more global companies implement the technology," said Jason Wright, an analyst at Frost & Sullivan. "Properly administering credentials past the deployment stage is critical to maintaining strong access security within a company's network. An integrated solution consisting of both authentication devices and an Active Directory®-based management system is essential in decreasing the investment in resources and personnel, while enabling tighter compliance with the organization's security policy."
About eToken
eToken is a USB authentication device about the size of a normal house key. It offers users and IT security administrators a fully portable, cost-effective means to authenticate users and digitally sign sensitive business transactions. eToken PRO offers advanced smart card functionality with a robust onboard cryptographic processor featuring either 1024-bit RSA, 3xDES and SHA1 algorithms. eToken PRO is the ideal solution for PKI enabled applications. Since operations such as signing and PKI key generation are done on the token itself, sensitive data is kept away from the hostile environment of the PC. eToken R2 offers simple yet robust 120bit DESX onboard security functionality as its underlying technology. Both the eToken PRO and the R2 feature a one-piece plastic housing, providing an unmatched tamper-evident and water-resistant container.
