SafeSign Identity Client for McAfee Endpoint Encryption
Benefits
Support for different applications
For environments that demand strong authentication, encryption and/or digital signatures, the smart card or USB token can hold X.509 certificates administered and accessed by the SafeSign Identity Client middleware.
Flexibility without extra costs
Customers are free to start using smart cards or USB tokens with an easy administrable solution for local access control at the McAfee secured client. Later on they can add applications to the smart card or USB token as the demand grows, up to certificates as part of a PKI solution, without having to change the smart cards, USB tokens or client infrastructure.
Card and token management
The SafeSign IC administration utility enables the program administrator to manage USB tokens, smart cards and the credentials they contain. The administrator can set the card’s PIN, unblock the card, import and delete digital certificates and keys, and set root certificates. SafeSign IC also provides an end user utility that allows the user to browse certificates or change the PIN.
Wide range of devices
SafeSign IC supports a wide range of smart cards and USB tokens from a large variety of vendors. This ensures that you can choose the device that best meets your specific requirements, whether you are looking for the highest performance, or the most cost-effective solution.
Standards based
SafeSign IC is based on well established industry standards, ensuring interoperability with the largest possible range of applications and devices. SafeSign IC supports both Microsoft Windows Cryptographic Services and RSA Labs’ Public Key Cryptographic Standards, the two most widely adopted cryptographic interfaces, as well as Java Card™, the most widely implemented smart card operating system.
