"As part of the new Aladdin Authentication Business Unit strategy, Aladdin is strengthening
relationships with strategic partners for both Aladdin eToken and Aladdin SafeWord,"
said Phil Pavay, vice president, business development at Aladdin Knowledge Systems.
"Aladdin is renewing its longstanding eToken-Citrix relationship and incorporating
the new Aladdin SafeWord line to create solutions at the forefront of remote office
and mobile computing technology by enabling strong authentication to fit any corporate
infrastructure, whether they are using smartcard-based certificates or advanced
OTP access."
-
Aladdin eToken USB-based smartcard generates and stores users' personal credentials,
such as private keys, passwords and digital certificates, inside the encrypted environment
of the on-board smartcard chip. In order to access applications from outside the
organization's protected network, the user verifies his identity with both a password
and the eToken device. This unlocks the personal credentials and creating an encrypted
connection between the user's computer and the organization's network without exposing
the user's private information to the PC environment.
-
Aladdin SafeWord offers secure One-Time-Password (OTP) access to Citrix remote applications,
requiring no additional software on the client's workstation. SafeWord 2008 is compatible
with Citrix products including Access Gateway, XenApp, Citrix Access Essentials,
and Citrix GoToMyPC Corporate.
-
Also available for use with Citrix products is Aladdin's Token Management System
(TMS), which maintains data on every eToken and SafeWord device and allows the organization
to track, update and maintain authentication devices in the organization to add
or remove users and enforce organizational policy.
