The product enables banks to use a consistent authentication model across all customer service channels. The solution is designed to maximize authentication versatility, accommodate multiple business units, and scale from thousands to millions of users.

HID Global’s 4TRESS Authentication Appliance provides the following capabilities:

� Support for both user authentica-tion and transaction verification

� A broad choice of strong authen-tication methods based on open standards (e.g. OATH, PKI), as well as proprietary models

� Support for hardware tokens, software tokens, smart cards and out-of-band authentication, using Short Message Service (SMS) or email

� Strong password policies and back up authentication methods, including security questions

� Centralized, tamper evident audit logs for tracking transactions across channels and simplifying compliance

� A highly scalable deployment architecture

� Centralized authorization services

4TRESS Authentication Appliance supports a broad range of hardware tokens, smart cards and software tokens.

4TRESS Authentication Appliance supports a layered approach that enables organizations to tailor the authentication method (e.g., static password, knowledge-based data, OTP or PKI) and authenticator (e.g., hardware token, software token or smart card) to specific user groups and risk levels. By providing an open and extensible framework to add new authentication methods and credential types, 4TRESS Authentication Appliance lets organizations respond quickly to new online attacks, evolving business requirements and changing user needs.

Ease of Deployment

4TRESS Authentication Appliance is pre-configured for banks deploying strong authentication. In addition, it is designed to support deployments within the bank's unique systems environment and ensure a secure key generation process. It can also be easily restored or replaced, in case of hardware faults or disaster recovery.

At time of deployment, the Implementation Services team assures proper integration into the bank’s ecosystem. Customers may opt for additional services, such as customizations and integration with Internet and banking platforms.

4TRESS Authentication Appliance can be deployed in a redundant configuration. In this configuration multiple 4TRESS Authentication Appliances connect to the same external Oracle database. By leveraging a bank’s existing Oracle database investment banks can ensure fault tolerance and high-availability for their mission-critical authentication systems.
