Increased identity and data theft, man-in-the-middle attacks and unauthorized access to confidential data demonstrate the growing need for data security solutions.
Stringent regulations have been put in place for companies and financial institutions to ensure data security.

Solution

To address growing authentication needs, VASCO presents DIGIPASS CertiID 3.3. DIGIPASS CertiID 3.3 is a client-based software suite that combines PKI and OTP technology. The software suite has been designed for users unfamiliar with PKI technology. DIGIPASS CertiID is installed on the PC of the end-user and is used in conjunction with a DIGIPASS Key solution - the authentication device.

In corporate environments, the solution can be used to secure local and remote access to the network and business critical applications, lock workstations, encrypts disks and files, digital sign e-mails and for mobile data security.

In banking environments, the device helps to comply with more stringent financial regulations (Sarbanes-Oxley, Basel II, HIPAA) and enhanced security requirements. PKI technology can be used to digitally sign transactions.

When an end-user initially requests a certificate, a private key is stored on the (integrated) smart card of the authentication device. This private key can never be exported, leveraging security.
To activate the device, the user must enter his PIN code.

Features

PKI and OTP technology combined

DIGIPASS CertiID allows a smooth migration from insecure static passwords to OTP and PKI. The combination of both technologies on one platforms allows companies to use OTP for specific applications such as remote access and log-on. PKI can be used at the same time for other applications such as document and transaction signing and file encryption.
Financial institutions can choose between OTP and PKI functionality or migrate from one to the other.
