| Introduction |
Today
the internet revolution provides you connectivity at a really low
cost. This has created a requirement of applications where a remote
user can be online. The major concern has been the SECURITY? What
happens if someone has overseen the password? He will have full
access to the secured information. |
In
the web environment, typically, data requestors are unknown. There
are no such things such as “trusted hosts” or users.
The basic authentication is user name / password. In a secure and
isolated network, it is probably sufficient to expect that a user
will provide a username and password that can be sent over the network
to login to different servers. However, this could be unsafe over
the Internet. |
MyKey
is a key device that plugs in your USB port, developed by deciBells,
and provides you the extra authentication over and above the user
name / password authorization. The product can provide you the necessary
authentication of the user over the internet / extranet in terms
of identity, usage counts, time utilization, time zone, etc. and
can be integrated with the user web applications. Some companies
have used VPN to take care of their security. If you really go in
depth, many of the applications do not justify the cost of a VPN
network. |

Features: |
- Authentication over the internet/intranet or extranet
- Access Rights – Each user can have access rights which
are specific to them.
Ex – A CEO can have complete access where as a sales manager
can only have access to the sales data.
- Time usage – User can have a predefined time usage parameter.
Ex – user can log in only from 9AM – 5PM
- Event Usage – User can have predefined number of times
he/she is able to access. Ex- A user can make purchases worth
Rs. 10,000 only.
- Remotely modifying user access rights – Even tough the
user might have access based on the above 3 points, his access
can be modified remotely via the internet/intranet/extranet. Each
of the above features can be written into or modified remotely.

| Advantages
& Benefits: |
- Cost Effective Solution compared to VPN, which
are mostly deployed to address issues which myKeyi is addressing.
- Mobility - Since the device is not big and
is portable it has an advantage of being taken along. This might
not be the case in some smart card solutions.
- Flexibility – The device needs only
a USB port which is standard in all the machines. This brings
in great deal of flexibility of usage. A user is able to access
the application from any machine. This is not possible in a smart
card solution which needs the smart card reader also to be present
in order to authenticate. A user can go to a cyber café
and use this device for secured authentication.
- Proven & tested technology – myKeyi
has been tested in the market space with over thousands of installations.
