Authentication Server (SxS) is a two-factor authentication server specifically designed to meet the business and regulatory requirements of multi-channel organizations (financial institutions, managed service providers, and other organizations).
SxS enables simultaneous use of different types of end-user devices and OTP standards, simplifies user experience, increases security, and reduces cost by enabling organizations to apply consistent strong authenticationand authorization over multiple service channels, including web and phone.
Key benefits
SxS gives you the choice – support for hardware tokens, EMV CAP, mobile token, SMS OTP, display cards, crypto devices
Single point of authentication - multiple service channels (Web, IVR, ATM) using the same platform
Prevention from all known cyber-attacks: Trojan horses, Phishing, Man in the middle, Inside attacks (Man in the browser)
Easy integration and maintenance
Business benefit
Prevents potential damage to the organization
Providing high security standards (Two-Factor Authentication solutions based on One-Time Passwords, Challenge/Response and Electronic Signature) eliminates targeted attacks on organizations
Leveraging on current technology investment
EMV chip migration
Independent from mobile operator
Mobile token client application does not require any special support from telecom operators, SIM change does not affect application in any way
Prepared to meet the demands of millions of online users
Solution modularity, high availability and scalability allow meeting the demands of millions of online users (e.g. retail banking)
System flexibility
The system is completely configurable and allows you to combine different authentication schemes with different devices for authentication
Easy user adoption
Relying on mechanisms familiar to the customers across all channels, now and tomorrow which means less investment in training campaigns, registration and help desk support
Return of investment
Single point of authentication service consolidated across separate business units into single solution supporting multiple OTP devices of different types is a cost-effective solution from an operational level.
Compliance with financial standards
Including OATH, ensures lower deploy– including OATH, ensures lower deployment costs
Technical advantages
Black box concept
Solution acts as “black box” towards 3rd party applications enabling smooth integration and limiting modifications on 3rd party systems in the environment
Authentication methods
Synchronous and Asynchronous One Time Passwords, Challenge/Response (CR), Message Authentication Codes (MAC), Multiple Data Signature (MDS) for tokens and Mode1, Mode2, Mode2 with TDS and Mode3 for MasterCard CAP (Chip Authentication Program) and VISA DPA (Dynamic Passcode Authentication) support
Support for latest MasterCard’s AA4C (Advanced Authentication for Chip) specification
Multi-Token support
Support for VASCO, ActivIdentity and RSA tokens
Mobile token support
Support for J2ME MIDP 2.0 phones and iPhone
Administration
Rich-featured administration enables easy personalization and monitoring, as well as card profi le setups, HSM keys management, detailed transaction history, ATC synchronization, etc.
Auditing
All transactions are logged, both authentication requests and results and administrators activities; and each log is tamper-proved, digitally signed and time stamped
High availability
Solution architecture enables clustering and load-balancing, resulting in high reliability and authentication requests workloads
Platform independency
Java development toolkits provide support for multiple Server platforms and Operating Systems
Functionality
Wide range of authentication methods and standards:
authentication with the use of hardware tokens (ActivIdentity, Vasco, RSA),
EMV CAP/DPA card based authentication,
Mobile token authentication - application for mobile phones,
SMS OTP, OATH, RADIUS.
SxS enables easy adaption of new authentication methods.
