Certain
business and regulatory requirements require use of stronger
authentication to manage risk. As enterprises
implement Web and application Single Sign-On solutions,
it increases the ability of users (and potentially intruders)
to access more and more enterprise resources through a
single login credential. This also leads to use of stronger
authentication to protect particularly sensitive enterprise
resources. Strong authentication comes in many different
flavors and has trade-offs including security, manageability,
usability, deployablity, etc. Secure tokens (e.g., SecurID
tokens) have been widely used for remote access and strong
authentication. Smart cards and/or biometrics with certificates
provide even stronger authentication but are harder to
implement and manage. InfoRender practitioners have experience
with various forms of authentication and Crypto tools:
- Smart Cards, Biometrics
- Tokens (SecurID)
- PKI
- Crypto Toolkits
(encryption, digital signature, etc.)
