VASCO DIGIPASS KEY 860

Overview:

DIGIPASS KEY 860 offers a solution to the growing authentication needs of banks, enterprises and governments. It combines OTP and PKI technology with secure mass USB storage. DIGIPASS KEY 860 is an easy-to-use end-user device which can be used for local and remote access, desktop and application log-on, disk encryption, data, e-mail and transaction signing and secure mobile data storage.

Increased identity and data theft, man-in-the-middle attacks and unauthorized access to confidential data demonstrate the growing need for data security solutions. Next to that, more stringent regulation has been put in place ensuring data security for companies and financial institutions. Furthermore employees often carry sensitive corporate information on portable USB drives. These data are freely accessible and the USB devices can easily be lost or stolen.

VASCO® Data Security has a solid reputation in helping financial institutions in securing transactions online through two-factor authentication. With DIGIPASS® KEY 860, VASCO offers an innovative solution combining OTP and PKI-technology with secure USB mass storage.

Benefits

PKI functionality
DIGIPASS Key 860 combines the security of a smart card with the flexibility of a card reader. Digital certificates from any Certificate Authority (Entrust, Microsoft, VeriSign, IdenTrust,…) can be generated and stored on the device. The generation of private and public keys is managed on the device and the keys cannot be exported from the smart card.

OTP functionality
With one push on the button of DIGIPASS KEY 860, an OTP will be generated on the screen of the authenticator. The user will type the OTP into the log-on screen on the PC to access the application. When combining the use of PKI with OTP, customers will need to install VASCO's authentication server technology (VACMAN® Controller or IDENTIKEY®) to offer event and time-based OTP capability next to PKIfunctionality.

Secure USB Storage
DIGIPASS KEY 860 has three predefined memory partitions which cannot be altered by the user, making them highly secure:

• a partition with CD-ROM capability for software installation (e.g. secured browser installation)
• encrypted partition on the fly for secure data storage
• a free hard disk partition to store accessory, non-confidential information
