SafeSign Identity Client for Cisco VPN
Secure remote access with cryptographic smart cards and USB tokens
SafeSign Identity Client and VPN
SafeSign Identity Client integrates into many VPN solutions on the market today and can provide the following benefits when used in combination with a SafeSign Identity Client supported token:
- Security of VPN access is increased through hardware-based two-factor authentication
- The use of a token reduces the risk of tampering with personal and corporate information
- A token is both a flexible and portable authentication device, ideally suited for remote access from any location.
SafeSign Identity Client for Cisco VPN
The Cisco VPN Client is software that enables customers to establish secure, end-to-end encrypted tunnels to any Cisco Easy VPN server. This thin design, IP Security (IPsec) compliant implementation is available from Cisco.com for customers with SMARTnet® support, and is included free of charge with the Cisco VPN 3000 Concentrator.
The client can be preconfigured for mass deployments and initial logins require very little user intervention. VPN access policies and configurations are downloaded from the central gateway and pushed to the client when a connection is established, allowing simple deployment and management.
Starting with version 3.5, the VPN Client supports authentication with digital certificates through a smart card or an electronic token. As the VPN Client supports digital certificates via CAPI, it works out-of-the-box with SafeSign Identity Client.
