DIGIPASS for Web powered by Intel® IPT is an embedded zero footprint authentication solution. The solution is embedded into select Intel processors at chip level.

It allows customers to deploy two-factor authentication without the need to roll-out authentication hardware or software to the end-user. Two-factor authentication is present on laptops or PCs based on the 2nd Generation Intel Core processor platforms. End-users only need to activate the authentication capability online.

The DIGIPASS offering for Intel IPT replaces the use of static passwords by dynamic one-time passwords (OTP). The dynamic password is user specific and only valid for a limited period of time.

It is an excellent choice for larger deployments where conventional authentication methods are too costly to implemenet and too cumbersome to provision and manage.

How does it work?

The 2nd Generation Intel Core processor platforms support a VASCO applet. When an end-user wants to log-on securely to a website using DIGIPASS, the applet on the chip will send the OTP for validation.

The server will request validation from VASCO’s back-end authentication software. Once validation is complete, the response is sent to the application provider's server and access is granted.

The Intel IPT technology works seamlessly with VASCO’s range of authentication server software, VACMAN and IDENTIKEY, as well as with DIGIPASS as a Service, VASCO’s cloud-based authentication platform.

Features

• one-time password functionality
• machine profiling feature: pC is linked to online identity/ account of user's choice
• automated deployment and provisioning
  • online user registration without software installation or human assistance
  • DIGIPASS applet profiles user's system. User chooses password to use in combination with DIGIPASS powerd by Intel ITP
• standard back-end installation
  • verification of OTPs in back-end is handeled by VASCO's VACMAN Controller authentication platform or IDENTIKEY's server authentication suite
• unaffected user experience - OTPs are generated behind the scenes 

Benefits

• high  and layered security thanks to two-factor authentication in combination with machine profiling
• reduced cost
• unsurpassed distribution by leveraging millions of dormant embedded DIGIPASS in the field
• efficient and fast rollout - no hardware provisioning, no software downloads and self activation process
• intuitive use
• suited for mass deployments
