A New User-Oriented Model to Manage Multiple Digital Credentials (original) (raw)

2003

Abstract

one of the first true Java-based smart chip USB solutions to address the growing interest in pre-and post-issuance of applets and digital credentials. Java standards-based smart chip tokens supports multiple applications and promise economies of scale as well as ease of use for administrators and end users. The security features that make the USB tokens the strongest container for private keys and digital credentials are also very appealing. RSA SecurID 6100 USB Tokens offer a highly secure, tamper-resistant and mobile container for digital certificates and user information, as well as other critical applications. This simple form factor makes it easy for users to carry credentials with them — whether across the enterprise or across the country — allowing both local and remote access to information on networks or the web. RSA SecurID 6100 USB Tokens help enable organizations to integrate strong two-factor authentication into their logical systems, thereby establishing a higher level of trust into their e-business environment. RSA SecurID 6100 USB Tokens help enable organizations to replace insecure and unmanageable password authentication systems for various applications , including the web and VPN environments. An organization's return on investment can be greatly enhanced by expanding the functionality of USB tokens through the extensibility of digital certificates as well as with Java-based applets. The use of digital certificates can be extended beyond strong authenti-cation to enable digital signing and encrypting/decrypting of e-mail and e-forms while the use of applets for employee loyalty programs and cash value systems can provide additional value to organizations. Issuance and updates to digital certificates and applets can be accomplished as needed and remain transparent to the end user — thereby enhancing the user experience. Designed to • Provide secure, portable repository for certificates, key sets, RSA SecurID ® seed records, passwords & applets • Plug directly into the USB port without the use of a reader • Enable strong two-factor authentication to VPN and web environments, as well as digital signing for e-mail & e-forms • Integrate out-of-the-box with RSA SecurID ® Passage • Provide support for Java ® applets RSA SecurID ® 6100 USB Tokens combine the convenience of a plug-and-play USB device with the optimal secure storage of digital credentials on a standards-based Java ® platform. The RSA SecurID 6100 USB Token is a portable, secure and extensible authentication solution for all applications and web services.
