DIGIPASS CertiID and the DIGIPASS Key devices are part of VASCO’s PKI based authentication offering. DIGIPASS CertiID is VASCO’s PKI based client software suite. DIGIPASS Key 200 is a USB key with PKI smart card, secure USB mass storage with the possibility of integrating RFID technology for physical access. DIGIPASS Key 860 is a smart card ID device combining PKI with OTP technology and with secure USB mass storage. The solutions are suited for deployment in:

Banks: especially for corporate banking where customers execute high volume transactions with high risk.

Enterprises: where digital signature of e-mail, documents or contracts is required. But also for secure access to PCs, laptops and documents including Windows logon, secure VPN access, booth encryption and the secure exchange of documents via USB encryption partition.

Government: where digital signature is required to prove citizens legal identity, or for digital signature of transaction such as tax payment, or secure access to e-government services.

DIGIPASS CertiID embedded

DIGIPASS CertiID capability has been embedded both into DIGIPASS Key 200 and DIGIPASS Key 860. The DIGIPASS CertiID software is stored into the CD-Rom memory disk partition of the DIGIPASS Key devices. The storage of DIGIPASS CertiID on the devices ensures a zero footprint and cost efficient installation. The devices are plug & play requiring limited to no administration and device management. The PIN and PUK codes are initialized on first use. This can either be done in user mode, where the initialization is done by the end-user or in administrator mode, in case the devices are part of a larger integrated system deployment. Next to the embedded edition, DIGIPASS CertiID remains available as stand alone software suite for specific deployments for instance for the deployment of PKI log-in.

Hardened browser

For banks, VASCO has developed a Firefox based secure browser which can be stored on the CD-Rom memory disk partition of the DIGIPASS Key 200 and DIGIPASS Key 860. Both USB keys have an encrypted memory partition on which confidential data are stored and through which secret keys and the access to these keys are protected by smart card technology. This secured or hardened browser will guide online banking customers straight to the correct URL, thus offering enhanced protection against phishing, man-in–the-middle and man-in-the-browser attacks. When executing a transaction, the banking customer will plug his DIGIPASS Key into the USB-port of the PC. The browser will be launched, going directly to the bank’s URL. In doing so, it will execute two-factor authentication and create certificate based mutual authentication; the bank knows that an authorized user who uses embedded and certified software is going online to perform a secured transaction.

The hardened browser capability of DIGIPASS Key 200 and DIGIPASS Key 860 are Identrust and Trustgate compliant.
