Public Key Infrastructure technology enables a number of security services, including strong user authentication and non-repudiation of transactions. Aladdin's PKI solutions enable organizations using multiple platforms to easily deploy strong two-factor user authentication for Web access, remote VPN access, network logon, PC protection, secure email and any standard PKI-enabled application.
Aladdin's new PKI Client releases provide unparalleled support for eToken customers with heterogeneous multi-platform IT environments, allowing organizations to support their users, customers or business partners whether they are using Windows, Mac, or Linux. Users are provided with true mobility, as they can use their eToken device from any client machine, not limited to a specific operating system.
PKI Client 4.0 takes the implementation and deployment of PKI solutions in an enterprise to the next level with the following new features:
-- Simple local token management - New easy-to-use and intuitive end-user and administrator interfaces. A simple straight-forward tool is provided, in either simple or advanced modes, to answer day-to-day local token management needs
-- Enhanced security - Token password quality settings are stored on the eToken smart card-based device, not on the PC
-- Lost token solution - A solution for exceptions, such as employee-on- the-road lost token scenarios, based on eToken Virtual, a new software-based virtual token that provides temporary secure access to organizational resources secured by eToken
-- Multilingual support - Facilitates implementation throughout global, multinational organizations
-- One-factor authentication support - Provides organizations with the flexibility to allow their users to authenticate only with their token when appropriate
eToken PKI Client 4.0 is the first in the series of new releases to be introduced this year, eventually providing the same unique features and abilities to all supported platforms.
