Your Freedom
Most authentication methods require dedicated equipment that needs to be connected and transported...
- K.Access® enables the user to be strongly authenticated by using any standard USB storage key or other mass storage media (iPod, mobile telephone, etc.).
- K.Access® is first loaded on the key by using a secret initialisation code provided by the bank.
- Financial organisations can choose any secure method for distributing the initialisation codes (SMS, email, PIN mailer, face to face, etc.).
- Once loaded, K.Access® is immediately available and automatically protected by PIN code.
- No data is lost on the key and it can continue to be used for storing files, photos or MP3 files as usual.
- Users can benefit from complete mobility and connect their USB key to any computer.
- Nothing is left on the computer after K.Access® is disconnected.
- K.Access® can also provide an automated access to the bank’s web-site if desired.
Your Simplicity
K.Access® simplifies a user’s life.
- Financial organisations are not required to deploy any physical device.
- In the case of loss or any problem with the physical storage media, replacement can be ensured via re-initialisation of another device.
- It is simple to withdraw authorisation for the key in the case of accidental loss or theft of the storage media or PIN code.
- No other action than the keying in of the PIN code is needed to gain access to the secure web site.
- It is easy to recall the PIN code since it is chosen by the user.
Your Security
K.Access® brings all the security and ergonomics of a solution based on digital certificate technology.
- K.Access® relies on proven digital certificate technology.
- This technology guarantees the identity of the person who is connected to the secure web site.
- K.Access® provides strong authentication and cannot be re-used or replicated to gain access without the two factors: What I have, the physical mass storage media with its certificate and associated private key; and what I know, the PIN code.
- An anti-keylogger system prevents any unauthorised reading of the PIN code through monitoring the keystrokes on the keyboard.
- The digital certificate and its associated private key are stored on the mass storage media support in a secure dedicated electronic container.
- The solution can be equipped with an anti-phishing system solution.
