Entrust Strong Authentication

Strong Authentication requires more than a username and a reusable password to authenticate a user or device. It is necessary for identity theft protection and data protection on computers, the Internet, and corporate networks.

Entrust provides many strong authentication software and hardware solutions to secure identities. These solutions provide organizations with the ability to deliver flexible, risk-driven capabilities for a broad population of users at a low cost and with little usability impact.

Entrust Two-factor authentication

Two-factor authentication requires the user to physically possess something (i.e. grid card, smartcard, token) in addition to something the user knows (i.e. the password or PIN). Two-factor authentication is an online body guard delivering identity theft protection.

Desktop Login with Entrust

For secure desktop login, a digital certificate or two-factor authentication device like Entrust IdentityGuard, should be used. Single sign-on (SSO) makes desktop login more effective and strong authentication more important.

Web Authentication with Entrust

Web authentication needs to be more than username and password and should be able to integrate with enhanced security features like encryption, digital signatures and identity and access management.

Identity Theft Protection with Entrust

Identity theft protection is top of mind for Internet users. Customer loyalty depends on online user confidence. Securing the identities of customers, partners, employees and citizens must be cost effective and easy to deploy.

Entrust Smartcards and USB Tokens

Smartcards and USB Tokens can be used to add two-factor authentication to applications. Entrust solutions can help make these two-factor authentication implementations more useful and cost-effective.

VPN, Wireless and Remote Access with Entrust

VPN security is central to network security. Wireless activity should be protected by VPN security or some form of strong authentication and encryption. Any kind of remote access requires strong authentication to protect your electronic border and prevent identity theft.

Entrust Federated Identity

Recognizing who to trust between organizations and across the Internet is made possible through identity federation. Organizations must be able to create (and destroy) a federated identity and specify what internal resources an identity can access. Identity Federation enables integration of user experience and business process across your organizational boundaries.
