Strong Authentication

The Strong Authentication suite of products enables organizations to securely address a variety of end user access control scenarios, ranging from remote access via virtual private networks (VPNs), to browserbased access to Web applications, to local network-based access to network data and applications.

HID Global's Identity Assurance solutions offer two distinct strong authentication platforms for organizations that are seeking to implement a cost-effective, flexible and scalable solution:

HID Global's 4TRESS™ AAA Server for Remote Access addresses the security risks associated with a mobile workforce accessing systems and data remotely.

HID Global's 4TRESS™ Authentication Appliance offers support for multiple authentication methods (e.g., username and password, knowledge-based authentication, one-time password (OTP), and public key infrastructure [PKI] certificates) and diverse audiences across a variety of service channels, making it the preferred versatile authentication platform for customer-facing transactions.

Credential Management

Credential Management products enable organizations to securely deploy and manage smart cards and USB tokens containing a variety of credentials, including PKI certificates, OTPs, static passwords, biometrics, demographic data, and virtually any other application.

HID Global's ActivID® Card Management System (CSM) is a reliable, proven and extensible solution that enables organizations to securely issue and manage digital credentials on devices, as well as securely update applications and credentials on devices after they have been issued to end users.

For organizations deploying large quantities of smart cards, HID Global's Identity Assurance solutions bundle three add-on modules into its Advanced Edition of HID Global's ActivID CMS. HID Global's ActivID® Batch Management System (BMS) enables communication with a service bureau for personalization and encoding of smart cards in centralized high-volume card production environments. HID Global's ActivID® Inventory and Logistics System enables advanced card stock management. HID Global's ActivID® Key Management System enables complete life cycle management of the cryptographic keys that protect access to the content of the authentication device keys and the hardware security modules that hold those keys.

Together with its Security Client software, Strong Authentication platform, and Authentication Device offering, HID Global can provide organizations with a complete "Smart Employee ID Solution" that can be leveraged for both physical and logical access control.

Security Clients

HID Global's Security Clients software extends Strong Authentication and Credential Management offerings by either enabling the use of smart cards and smart USB tokens for a wide variety of desktop, network security and productivity applications or enhancing the productivity of employees with easy single sign-on capabilities to network resources.
