SecureLogin Kiosk also supports strong authentication through smart cards, USB tokens, active proximity badges, biometrics or a combination of these, further enhancing the security of the systems. SecureLogin Kiosk works with desktop, terminal and Web-based applications and supports identity management provisioning systems from Microsoft(R), Novell(R), Sun(R) and IBM(R).
