e-Identity

Data security begins when a user logs on
The safeguarding of IT-based corporate data by means of password-protected access is a day-to-day routine for companies. Despite internal guidelines governing the handling of passwords, their usage is usually to be regarded as anything but secure. For reasons of convenience, employees choose phrases that are easy to remember such as the name and date of birth of their spouse, which are simple to guess and therefore represent a high security risk. And when the password is stuck as a note on the monitor, unauthorised persons are able to access data throughout the entire corporate network in a wilful attack from the networked workstation.

User-friendly authentication with the smart card logon
Modern authentication procedures can significantly raise security levels within the company and at the same time increase the productivity of its employees. As a replacement for multiple login operations, the smart card logon allows users to access all the required resources by logging on just once. Here personal passwords or other codes are stored locally on smart cards or security tokens.

Security with a rapid ROI
OpenLimit secures access to sensitive corporate data with its e-identity solutions. The level of security is increased many times over, thanks to the “automatic compliance” with internally definable password guidelines. Employees can quickly and easily log on to any PC workstation. Help desk calls regarding password problems are eliminated. Card-based login processes lead to a tangible rise in efficiency, in turn achieving cost savings and a rapid return on investment.

Standards for a high degree of interoperability
Due to its support for contemporary standards (PC/SC, PKCS#11 and Microsoft CSP), the eID function from OpenLimit can be effortlessly integrated in all PKI environments. This functionality is also available in the Citrix Presentation Server environment. Various smart card readers, USB tokens and smart cards can be utilised to achieve a high degree of interoperability. For example, the OpenLimit software already supports the new electronic personal ID card to be introduced by the Federal Republic of Germany in 2010 together with all the associated functions.
