- Storage of certificates on tamperproof smart cards (by module PKI)
Efficiency
- Session & application login by fingerprint (by module OTS or PKI-SSO)
Easiness
- Replacement of PIN entry by biometrics (by module OTS or PKI-SSO)
- Hybrid badge (Combination of physical & logical/digital access control)
A French Bank, operating worldwide, reaffirmed how easy and efficient Autentyka™ was set up and how fast users accepted it.
Another European financial institution, already running Autentyka™ as authentication platform, reported to be pleased about the easiness of system maintenance. Moreover, by the recent up scaling of their system in terms of adding new modules, they witnessed a trouble free migration.
In the governmental areas, Alya™ is an ideal device to read and process applications based on citizen e-ID cards. Several projects worldwide are ongoing. Alya™ and Autentyka™ offer the requested flexibility for the integration in different applications specially developed for the each local market.
