Secure, Versatile Login From Anywhere

A-Key® 3500 Token

Easy to deploy, convenient, A-Key® 3500 tokens enable users to securely log in from anywhere in the world with both Challenge/Response and One-time Password authentication from the same token.

A-Key® 3500 tokens can be used as is, or they can come with pre-installed software that enables users to securely store digital certificates on the token and use them anywhere and to securely store Web logon credentials and automatically log in to Web sites without having to touch a computer keyboard. Unauthorized, brute-force attempts to access A-Key® 3500 tokens cause the tokens to erase all user data and return factory default settings. All information stored on A-Key® 3500 tokens (passwords, Web credentials, certificates, etc.) is stored on the chip for maximum security.

Small and lightweight, each token is password protected: no one can access the token's functionality without correctly logging in. And because they are driverless, they can be taken and used anywhere without any software installation.

Log In With Your A-Key® 3500 Token

Use your A-Key® 3500 token for Challenge/Response and One Time Password (OTP) Authentication. It will work with any A-type USB 1.1 or USB 2.0 port, USB hub, or USB extension cable connected directly to a computer. However, it will not work with a USB-to-PS/2 conversion adapter.

A-Key® Token Security

All certificates and Web site data you save onto the A-Key® 3500 token are secured on the chip itself. There is no way to access the data without first authenticating. Unauthorized, brute-force attempts to access A-Key® 3500 tokens cause the tokens to erase all user data and return factory default settings. And if the chip is tampered with, the data will be destroyed.

Peace of Mind Against Loss or Theft

For added security in the event that the A-Key® 3500 token is lost or stolen, if someone tries to log in and fails a configurable number of times, the token will automatically erase all certificates and passwords and restore its factory default settings. This functionality is also built into the token’s chip itself. It is not an application on the token: it cannot be altered or erased.

A-Key® Token Administrative Management

The A-Key® 3500 token contains the A-Key® Administrator Tool, through which administrators can control A-Key® 3500 token features.

• Two Levels of Secure Password Protection: User and Admin.

  Assigning both levels of password protection enables administrators to lock down the administrative features of the token, while allowing anyone accessing the user account to be able to add and delete certificates, etc. and access any applications installed on the token. This feature is especially helpful for enterprise administrators who want to keep secure access token settings consistent across a wide deployment.

• A-Key® 3500 Token Lock and Self Erase Security

  Assigning passwords enables administrators to have finer control over brute force protection settings on their secure access tokens.

  • If an administrator password has not been assigned and anyone tries to log on and fails the defined number of times, the A-Key® 3500 token will erase all user data it contains.
  • If an administrator password has been assigned and anyone tries to log on and fails a defined number of times, the A-Key® 3500 token will lock and become unusable until an administrator unlocks it. All user data on the token is still intact, and accessible with administrative login. This feature is especially helpful for enterprise administrators who want to recover data and settings on a token that has been left by en employee who has left the organization.
• Erasing/Formatting An A-Key® 3500 Token

  A-Key token administrators and users can erase data on their secure access tokens in two ways:

  • Securely Delete All Data. This erases the token and restores it to its original condition, which makes it ready for its next assignment.
  • Securely Delete Only Personal Files. This option only erases passwords, certificates and Web credentials that have been added. It does not erase Authenex applications and related data (such as certificates, login accounts, etc.). Enterprise administrators can use this option to clear user data from a secure access token left behind by an ex-employee, while keeping the organization’s secure access token security settings intact.

Versatile, Secure Certificate Use and Web Logon Security

Optionally, My A-Key™ software and ACert™ software can be installed on A-Key® 3500 tokens. ACert™ software provides secure certificate storage and use. This enables A-Key® 3500 tokens to be used on any Windows 2000 or XP machine 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 on the remote computer. And since My A-Key™ software and ACert™ software come pre-installed on A-Key® 3500 tokens, all users receive all the benefits of the token.
