RSA:  Authentication

The RSA SecurID SD200 is the original SecurID hardware token. This credit card-sized device provides the same excellent performance guaranteed from every SecurID authenticator.

The RSA SecurID SD520 PINpad model resembles the SD200 but has a PIN pad feature that enables users to encrypt their passcode for a higher level of security.

The RSA SecurID SD600 is a standard-sized key fob that connects easily to any key ring and fits into a user's pocket or small carrying case.

The RSA SecurID SID700 is a smaller key fob model that is very convenient for the end user.

The RSA SecurID SID800 offers the one-time password functionality of the other hardware authenticators as well as added functionality through a built-in USB connector and smart chip. This device can be used to generate one-time use token codes as well as to store Windows username/password credentials and digital certificates. When connected, the RSA SecurID SID800 is enabled for automatic token code entry, allowing applications to programmatically access token codes directly off the device and eliminating the need for the user to type their code.

The RSA SecurID SID900 is the newest member of the family. This multi-function device combines the industry proven features of RSA SecurID hardware authenticators with a transaction signing function to strongly protect business transactions. Using this portable and easy-to-use device, end users can use a unique token code that changes every 60 seconds to add additional security while logging into a financial application. Additionally, end users can also protect individual financial transactions (e.g. a balance transfer) by marking it with their unique digital signature.

RSA SecurID software tokens use the same algorithms as the industry-leading RSA SecurID hardware tokens while eliminating the need for users to carry dedicated hardware devices and allowing authentication through familiar interfaces. RSA SecurID software tokens are available for a variety of PC and handheld devices including those using Microsoft Windows. They are also available for leading smart phones and PDAs, including Research In Motion's BlackBerry as well as Windows Mobile and Palm devices.

Used in combination with RSA SecurID authenticators, the RSA SecurID Appliance is designed to validate the identities of users by requiring the user to present a PIN along with their token code before granting access to valuable network resources. Each user is assigned a unique RSA SecurID authenticator which generates an unpredictable code every 60 seconds. The Appliance validates the user's PIN and token code, confirming the users identity and thereby limiting vulnerabilities associated with easily compromised passwords.

RSA Authentication Manager software is designed to fit the needs of organisations of all sizes. Built upon an enterprise class multiprocessor architecture, it is capable of handling from as few as twenty-five users to millions of users per server, as well as hundreds of simultaneous authentications. It is deployed in banking, government, manufacturing, high tech and healthcare worldwide.
