turn your flash drive into an identity token

At charismathics we believe that PKI security should not just be a benefit of a small corporate elite, but rather a commodity for all worldwide users. We have therefore made it ubiquitous by turning all flash memory sticks potentially into cryptographic tokens. With charismathics Virtual Token Drive, 2-factor authentication becomes a piece of cake for all. Based on a soft token approach, the product will definitely help strong authentication penetration into a multitude of small business and individuals. Support of the mainstream computer platforms, cost affordability and greatest convenience make the new software an absolute must for SMB and consumers.

making two factor authentication ubiquitous

Regular smart card architectures are known to be relatively expensive, imply due thought processes and a well-planned management scheme and infrastructure. One of the main cost drivers is the hardware that can easily get up to 50 dollars per seat. While those investments in bigger companies are often based on compliance requirements, smaller organizations do not necessarily need such products for operations like digital signature, but mainly for regular IT security, data and email encryption. Also, the digital certificates and management tools are often under fewer restrictions.
The virtual token drive from charismathics targets just this market. USB flash drives are all-around in the IT environment. By implementing the new software, not only do they turn into smart card “alikes”, but they also enable standard software applications such as Windows Logon, Microsoft Outlook, Adobe Acrobat and Microsoft Word and their inbuilt user identity mechanisms to allow for strong security enhancements. The user is even able to choose his digital identity from trusted Certificate Authorities, this way bridging into real enterprise level security.
