CRYPTO-MAS authentication

CRYPTOCard today launched CRYPTO-MAS, its Managed Authentication Service that offers full support for Mac OS X. The software is designed to eliminate unauthorized network access by protecting against shoulder surfing, social engineering, and other forms of password theft. CRYPTOCard's tokens display a randomly-generated password for every log-on attempt to make stolen credentials useless to malicious users while eliminating the need for users to memorize complicated passwords, which significantly reduces the help-desk costs associated with forgotten passwords as well as the security risk resulting from users writing them down. Users also require specific PIN numbers alongside their token to access the network, making a lost or stolen token useless to a malicious user. CRYPTOCard will demonstrate the CRYPTO-MAS managed service administration portal at Macworld 2007 (Booth #1544).
