We have been using the CRYPTOCard Managed Service for the past 12 months. Our users have total confidence in the system and find it easier than having to decide on, and regularly change, the traditional static password system we were previously using. Colin Campbell, Stroud and Swindon Building Society, UK
When we looked at the total cost of ownership of buying servers and doing it ourselves, versus putting password protection through the CRYPTO-MAS systems, the difference was well worth it. There was no upfront investment, no upfront setup and we were on the system over lunchtime. It literally took 45 minutes.
In Butler Groups opinion CRYPTOCards service suits any organisation looking to implement security without the overheads of implementation, support, and management normally associated with traditional in-house systems. Butler Group. Sept 2008
Users
Each user of the service is provided with a token which delivers the One Time Password, which when combined with the unique PIN that they have, identifies them to the MAS service which then authorises their connection to the network. Tokens are available in a wide range of formats and styles to provide the utmost in convenience, portability, durability, interoperability and multi-role functionality. An organization can select the token type or token types that are most appropriate for their user base and security policies - ensuring successful implementation and acceptance by matching tokens to working practices and lifestyle.
web browser and which in itself is secured using two-factor authentication. The service provides authentication for users stored in the internal database these details are simply entered either manually or by importing a CSV file via MAP. MAP provides workflow automation tools which aid in the deployment and management of all tokens and so substantially minimises administrative overheads. MAP also provides comprehensive reporting tools which aid support and management of the system.
CRYPTO-MAS is located in secure data centres and provides a simple network interface between the web application being secured or the remote access routers or firewalls and the service itself. CRYPTO-MAS has a simple to use portal which provides all of the functionality needed to allow a service provider or an end user customer to set the system up, allocate and deploy tokens, manage the process of adds, moves and changes and produce activity reports.
Enterprise Network
There is very little work required within the enterprise network in order for a company to make use of the MAS service. Upon signing up for the service, the Firewall, Switch, Web application or gateway that provides access to the network (commonly called an AuthNode) is re-configured to pass all authentication requests to the MAS service via something called an Authentication Point-of-Presence (A-PoP). The service is proven to work witha whole range of web based applications and also devices from Cisco, Juniper, Watchguard, SonicWALL in fact any RADIUS based device or application is compatible. Log-on requests from users are sent to the MAS service from the AuthNode over a secure encrypted link, where they are authenticated against the user database that is held in the MAS service centre.
CRYPTO-MAS Service
CRYPTOCards secured data-centres and global infrastructure contain the heart of the MAS service. The main server is the authentication component of the whole service and which responds to the authentication requests from firewalls, VPN devices, etc, via the A-PoP. The whole service is administered and managed by the MAS-Portal (MAP) which can be accessed from any standard
Affordable
CRYPTO-MAS can be purchased as a complete OPEX based service, where a simple quarterly payment covers the delivery of the service and the chosen tokens. There are no hidden costs and no major up-front investments are required.
