SafeSign Identity Client for Marx CrypToken

CrypToken MX2048-JCOP

The Marx® CrypToken® MX2048-JCOP USB token meets the needs of high volume, cost-sensitive, single and multi-application markets such as e-business, e-government and e-banking, providing strong authentication to systems and applications and enabling encryption and digital signing of information. It opens up a wealth of opportunities in the protected environment of the smart card chip on board.

CrypTokens save private keys, passwords and digital certificates as securely as in any safe. A user’s private keys can be generated directly on the USB token and never leave the token; usage is exclusively within the token.

Despite its small size, it unites the smart card as well as the card reader. You simply take the token with you from one workstation to another. The only prerequisite for use is that the PC has a USB connection.

The unique metal designer case is tamper-proof, robust, and perfectly shielded against radiation, external interception, dust and water.

SafeSign Identity Client

To access the digital certificate, private keys and passwords stored on the CrypToken, Marx advises the use of AET’s SafeSign Identity Client (IC) middleware. SafeSign IC enhances the CrypToken MX2048-JCOP by enabling strong, two-factor logon authentication to all applications that support digital certificates, ensuring the highest security and mobility, as well as simplifying the authentication process for end users.

Smart card logon
SafeSign IC supports logon to networks and client PC’s as well as applications. During the logon process, the end user inserts his/her CrypToken into the USB port. SafeSign IC then prompts the user for his/her Personal Identity Number (PIN). The user’s certificate is verified, and if the certificate and the associated user account are valid, the user is authenticated and logged on to a network, client PC or (web)application.

Encryption and digital signing
In addition to logging on to applications, SafeSign IC also supports the use of the CrypToken for other functionality. For example, Microsoft® Outlook can be configured to use the certificate on the end user’s token to digitally sign e-mail messages and en- or decrypt e-mails including attachments.

Phishing prevention
Web applications can be secured by strong certificate-based authentication. The certificate never leaves the token, preventing phishing attacks. This makes the SafeSign IC/CrypToken combination ideal for e-banking.
