About A-Key® Tokens

A-Key® tokens are USB tokens that enable users to store data in encrypted memory and safely take that data wherever they go. A-Key tokens can also be used for Challenge/Response, PKI, and One-time Password (OTP) authentication. All data on an A-Key token is safe from unauthorized use and from theft. The A-Key is password-protected and all data is encrypted.

 

About the A-Key® 4000 Token

No one makes a product like the A-Key® 4000 token, a password-protected USB token that has up to 1 gigabyte of encrypted storage and enables secure Challenge/Response, One-time Password (OTP), and certificate-based authentication and email security. Because it is driverless, it requires no installation and leaves no footprint wherever it is used, yet provides secure storage and remote log in from anywhere in the world, as well as tamper-proof peace of mind, through protection against brute force penetration.

Anything a user puts on the key (user IDs, passwords, files, URLs, X.509 digital certificates) is encrypted on-the-fly by encryption at the hardware level. It remains secure.

The A-Key® 4000 token enables up to two (2) levels of password management: either just the user level or both the administrator and user levels and supports multiple authentication protocols (One-Time Password, PKI, or Challenge-Response authentication), and all Authenex products leverage the chip-based A-Key® token, making them easy to manage and use.

For added security in the event that it is lost or stolen, the A-Key® 4000 token will erase all user data in storage and return to its factory default settings after a configurable number of failed log in attempts. This functionality is built into the hardware itself and cannot be bypassed.

The high level of security the token has to offer, and the low cost, make the A-Key® 4000 token a truly unique offering in today’s security marketplace.

About the ASAS® System

The Authenex Strong Authentication System (ASAS®) is a network security application that provides strong (two-factor) authentication for LAN, remote, VPN and web access. The ASAS® System helps keep your networks secure by requiring your users to use their A-Key tokens to authenticate via either Challenge/Response or One-Time Password (OTP) whenever they want remote or LAN access to networks, web sites, portals, OWA servers, etc. The ASAS® System utilizes an authentication server and database, as well as the A-Key token as the basis for the most secure, easy to use, simple to administer and cost-effective two-factor authentication solution available today.

The ASAS® System is available to and installed in organizations of all sizes, from Fortune 100 companies to small businesses. Because it uses RADIUS and TCP/IP protocols, the ASAS® System can easily integrate into any network environment. The ASAS system is also VPN and firewall interoperable, and supports ODBC- providing networks with an efficient two-factor authentication system that integrates easily with an existing security infrastructure.

The ASAS® Syetem is compatible with the world's most popular Remote Firewall and VPN solutions, including Check Point, Cisco, Nortel, and Microsoft RRAS, as well as Citrix and MetaInfo (Meta IP DHCP services).

ASAS® System administration is performed through a versatile web application called the Web Management Console (WMC). The WMC requires very little disk space, Java, and a web browser. With these minimal requirements, nearly anyone can perform all ASAS® System administration tasks: managing users, A-Key tokens, and user groups, as well as administer the ASAS® Server itself.
