File and Disk Encryption

For organizations that need to protect sensitive content, ActivIdentity File and Disk Encryption solutions add two-factor security to the market-leading data encryption and boot protection applications: smart cards and USB tokens are required for pre-boot authentication to the PC, and securely hold the PKI keys required to decrypt files.

Features and Benefits

• Enhanced security by enforcement of two-factor authentication: something the user has (the smart card or USB token) and something the user knows (the PIN code).
• Credential portability: since the PKI credentials are stored in a portable device (smart card or USB token) they can be used to access encrypted files on any workstation.
• Ease of Use: end-users simply insert their smart card (or USB token) and type their PIN code to enable pre-boot authentication and/or file decryption.
• Future-proof investment through support of PKI certificates from all the leading Certificate Authorities (including Microsoft Windows Certificate Services and many others) as well as multiple smart cards and readers from all the leading manufacturers.
• Standards compliance with comprehensive support for government-issued smart cards such as Common Access Cards (CAC), GSC-IS 2.1, Personal Identity Verification (PIV), etc.
• Compelling ROI - ActivClient also enables strong authentication for desktop and network login, VPN, dial-Up and web site login, as well as secure email and documents, Single Sign On, and more…
