Securing Your Future with Two-Factor Authentication

Do you really know who's accessing your most sensitive networked information assets? Unfortunately, security built on static, reusable passwords has proven easy for hackers to beat.

RSA SecurID® two-factor authentication is based on something you know (a password or PIN) and something you have (an authenticator)—providing a much more reliable level of user authentication than reusable passwords.

• The only solution that automatically changes your password every 60 seconds
• 20-year history of outstanding performance and innovation

RSA offers enterprises a wide range of user authentication options to help positively identify users before they interact with mission-critical data and applications through:

• VPNs & WLANs
• E-mail
• Intranets & extranets
• Microsoft® Windows® desktops
• Web servers
• Other network resources

Hardware and Software Authenticators

This component of the SecurID system is a trinket for keys or a program displaying the current token-code and is always with the user.

There is a wide range of types of electronic tokens. Each token has built in battery with an estimated running time between 2 and 5 years depending on the type.

You can choose between following token models:

• key trinket tokens – RSA SecurID SD600 and RSA SecurID SID700.

• token RSA SecurID SD200 is similar to credit card, made of metal, 5 millimeters thick.

• token RSA SecurID SD520 has the same size as SD200, but also has a control panel. User enters pin-code on the panel and gets a combination of the pin-code and a token-code. This solution provides safety of pin-code.

• token RSA SecurID SID800 combines SID700 model and a USB flash, so it is useful for keeping authorisation keys and some data.

• token RSA SecurID SID900 is under development now. It will replace SD520 as more light, small and modern one.

Currently, there following software tokens are available:

• Work station software for Microsoft Windows;
• Internet Explorer and Mozilla Firefox Web-browser panel;
• Pocket PC software for Windows Mobile 2003, PalmOS, BlackBerry;
• Smart Phone software for Ericsson R380, Nokia 9210;
