Why Two Factor is Strong

• Identity theft prevention

• Prevention from phishing & replay attacks

• Loss of one of the factors does not compromise security

• Lost token’s or certificates can be revoked

Two Factor Authentication

• RSA Secure ID• Hardware One Time Password (OTP) Tokens• Software based OTP Tokens• SSL Client Certificate on Tokens

RSA Secure ID

• Admin activates RSA Token for each user and provides to the user

• User provides username and One Time Password code generated by RSA token to login into SSL VPN-Plus

•SSL VPN-Plus Gateway talks to RSA Secure ID RADIUS Server to authenticate the user

•If required RSA Server can ask for Next PIN or Change PIN

Hardware OTP Tokens

• Cheap alternative to RSA Secure ID solution

• Admin activates OTP Token for each user and provides to the user

• User provides username and One Time Password code generated by token to login into SSL VPN-Plus

•SSL VPN-Plus Gateway talks to OTP Token Server to authenticate the user

Hardware OTP Tokens…contd

• Any third party OTP Hardware Token that provides RADIUS or AD interface is supported by SSL VPN-Plus

• Tested with Aladdin, Secure Computing, Vasco tokens

Software based OTP Tokens

• Cheapest OTP Solution

• OTP is generated by software agent running on PC, mobile, PDA, palmtop, etc.

• User need to carry extra device

• Admin provides PIN and software to user to install on the device used by User

Software based OTP Tokens…contd

• Any third party Software Token is supported if the server module provides RADIUS or AD interface

• SSL VPN-Plus has been tested with Wikid Software Token solution (User need to carry extra device)

SSL Client Certificate

• Authenticate users based on the SSL Client Certificate produced by user at the time of login

•Admin creates SSL Client certificates for users and provide to users via email or place it on hardware tokens

• User provides SSL Certificate at the time of login when asked by Gateway

•Gateway uses CA cert specified by Admin to verify the validity of Client Certificate

SSL Client Certificate…contd

• Easy to deploy and manage

•Based on proven most secure PKI technology

• Client Certificate can be installed on user’s PC or a USB token that can be easily carried by user

• Client Certificate can be easily revoked if device carrying the certificate is lost
