You get RSA security and reliability with the convenience of using your own smartphone, delivered by Signify’s proven hosted service. When a user wishes to access their corporate data remotely using a PC or laptop, they simply enter their secret PIN into their smartphone token application. The smartphone then generates a one time passcode which the user then enters into the password field on their PC or laptop. By demonstrating that they have these two ‘factors’ – a secret PIN and their smartphone – the user is securely identified. Signify Software Tokens provide a better user experience because they enable users to use their preferred mobile device to authenticate themselves. Users usually tend to look after their smartphones more carefully than a keyfob token and are therefore less likely to lose them. When lost, they are more likely to report that fact, enabling the token to be disabled, ensuring that your corporate security is maintained.

These are automated through key features of our service: Authentication Infrastructure: Security and reliability is designed in and implemented across multiple data centres, to deliver and validate one time passcodes every time. 99.999% service availability over the last 5 years. The Identity Management Centre (IMC): Manage all aspects of your service through our easy-to-use web portal.
