CRYPTO-Shield enables organisations to positively identify individuals, with the strongest two-factor authentication in the industry, before giving them access to applications, data and networks. CRYPTOCard’s complete authentication solution consists of a suite of applications designed for implementing and operating two-factor authentication within an organisation. CRYPTO-Shield provides everything that is required for securing Remote Access, Domain and Desktop Logon or Web Portal access with two-factor authentication.

CRYPTO-Shield is compatible with any existing network and offers the most advanced token technology in the industry. It is the only two-factor authentication solution that will operate seamlessly in a real world mixed OS network. Along with multi-platform support CRYPTO-Shield provides extremely flexible configuration options with no need for LDAP changes.

With an easy-to-use administration console, administrators are not required to have specific training to operate CRYPTO-Shield and can customise CRYPTO-Shield to meet any security requirement.

CRYPTO-Shield customers benefit from reducing the risk associated with remote access and web-based business processes. This positive identification solution increases compliance with industry regulations, at a price all businesses can afford.

Flexibility

CRYPTO-Shield has the ability to adapt to any type of network infrastructure an organisation has in place, and is available for Windows, Linux, or Mac platforms. Customisation tools are available to mold the functions of CRYPTO-Shield to meet specific security policies and satisfy multiple compliance requirements.

Low Total Cost of Ownership

Many vendors have obsolescence built into their products, such as tokens that expire after 3 years or license contracts that need to be renewed annually. CRYPTOCard offers tokens with a 5-year warranty that never expire due to replaceable batteries. CRYPTO-Shield is also based on a perpetual license agreement, which requires that the license only needs to be purchased once. No annual license renewals required, just a low cost support and maintenance contract.

Simplicity

CRYPTOCard prides itself in offering the easiest and most user-friendly positive identification solutions in the industry. CRYPTO-Shield is extremely easy to set up as the LDAP does not need to be changed and directories can be directly imported into CRYPTO-Shield. The administration console allows for easy user and token management. Due to excellent usability and documentation, administrators do not require advanced technical skills to manage the system.

Higher Security

CRYPTO-Shield provides organisations with the ability to implement and operate the strongest two-factor authentication solution in the industry. Organisations can initialise their own tokens, therefore keeping the seed keys confidential. Encryption algorithms can be as strong as AES 256, and one-time password can be as strong as 8 character Base64 – the most secure type of password available. CRYPTO-Shield also offers the option of attaching digital signatures for non-repudiation of signed documents or transactions.

Greater User Satisfaction

Not only will organisations get the benefits listed above, the end users will be happier not having to remember complex passwords and will place fewer password related helpdesk calls.

CRYPTO-Server is the authentication component of CRYPTO-Shield, CRYPTOCard’s award winning two-factor authentication suite.
