| Report Summary: |
Todays enterprises need new methods of developing trust in a virtual world. Wherever Internet access is available, business operations can occur. However, with expanded access to networks, enterprises are finding it increasingly difficult to authenticate who someone is. Doing business in the virtual world means that many business operations require some form of authentication to ensure that an authorized employee, customer, or partner is the one performing the operation. As well as being concerned about identifying authorized parties, enterprises are also becoming increasingly worried about ensuring and maintaining the security of proprietary information and privacy protection.
In this IDC White Paper commissioned by Aladdin Knowledge Systems, the requirements and issues associated with user authentication are explored and the reasons why many enterprises continue to struggle to implement cost-effective authentication mechanisms is addressed. The White Paper also looks at the inefficiencies associated with user names and passwords, multiple authentication methods, as well as the increasing requirements on user authentication. The solutions offered by Aladdin Knowledge Systems provide an infrastructure that allows organizations to address password authentication problems in a secure and cost-efficient manner. Their convenient USB-based two-factor authentication tokens, smartcards, and supporting software solutions are outlined in detail.
