Defender DualTOK Token

Defender DualTOK

 

The DualTOK Key Chain Token extends PassGo's range of electronic security devices. The key advantage of the DualTOK is its Synchronous or Asynchronous operation.

The DualTOK may also be secured in either Synchronous or Asynchronous mode by means of a PIN number which allows the user to lock the token, protecting it from unauthorized use.

  • Synchronous mode allows the generation of a one-time password at the press of a button.
  • Asynchronous mode presents the user with a challenge number which they enter on the token keypad. The DualTOK Key Chain Token will then generate a response to the challenge which the user enters as their one-time password to complete their login process.

Defender Mobile Token

Defender Mobile is a plug-in to Defender, no additional software is required on the user’s system and the administrator can easily assign mobile tokens. The user can access the Defender Mobile token in two ways, the most popular reactive method is described below:

1. When the user attempts to access a resource protected by Defender, he is prompted to enter his username.

2. The user then enters his Defender PIN.

Defender receives the request, generates a one-time password and automatically sends it to the assigned mobile number as an SMS message. Within seconds, the user receives the one-time password.

3. The user then re-enters the PIN and the one-time password at the prompt. If the information is entered correctly, the user is granted access.

Defender Mobile Token

The alternative, proactive method of activating a Defender Mobile token is very similar, but in order to generate the SMS message, the user must dial the modem attached to the Defender Mobile Server from the assigned cell phone. Defender carries out a CLI (Caller Line Identification) and, if the cell phone’s number matches a stored number; the one-time password is generated and sent as an SMS message the phone.
