The LO2K solution is the ultimate identity theft deterrent system. It allows the user to 'wear' a device that immobilises standalone or networked WIN2000, NT 4.0 and XP PC's by using a Federally Certified security device the size of a button! Network Administrators centrally program and issue a pre-programmed iButton to their users. The user does not know their password, so it cannot be copied, lost, compromised or forgotten.

Each users profile is stored in a Java applet running inside the crypto barrier of the Java-powered Button. Once the user logon credentials are read LO2K software swiftly passes the encrypted user profile to the WIN2000 Server automatically granting the user logon to their machine. No more typing user name/passwords for logon.

As an additional security measure an individual PIN number can be centrally assigned to the user for two-factor authentication. i.e. Have something (iButton), know something (PIN Number).

The common problem of lost or forgotten passwords can be eradicated as the iButton protects its data from hacking and the password does not need to be reset every 30 days. This removes the need for Network administrators to waste valuable time and resources dealing with support calls for forgotten passwords, or even worse a user writing their password on a Post-It Note and leaving it next to their PC!

The Java iButton is one of the worlds least counterfeitable devices known to man, and has been certified to FIPS 140-1 Level 3 for security. This is a device that has been tested by the National Institute of Standards & Technology for the USA and also the Communications Security Establishment for the Government of Canada.

Administrators can be safe in the knowledge that a user can be identified by the fact that they have an individual iButton that is their personal property and responsibility coupled with a unique PIN number for network access.

The key features of LO2K are :-

1. Windows 2000/NT 4.0/XP network Logon authentication
The System Administrator has the ability to control passwords centrally. No more typing of passwords, or leaving written notes of ever changing passwords for 'identity thieves'. Passwords are issued and stored on the iButton centrally by the Network Administrator. The iButton erases the information if it is tampered with, or anyone tries to 'hack' into it.
Additional security measures are available by the Administrator issuing an additional PIN Number for 'have something (iButton), know something (PIN number)' user authentication.
Access to the network is controlled by the administrator and cannot be altered by the user. All the user knows is that they have an iButton and a PIN Number issued to them and it is required for PC to work.

2. True ability to 'Hot desk'.
If you use roaming profiles in your organisation, simply plug in the iButton at any PC and it will load your user profiles and gain network access automatically from any network connected PC.

3. PKI support for signing/encrypting email
Electronic signatures refer to any method used to associate a person's identity with an electronic record. LO2K will support the eSignature standard using PKI technology to deliver Digital signatures. The users private keys are stored on the iButton allowing users to digitally identify themselves every time they send an email.

4. FTP file transfer for the storage of sensitive data for virtual transportation
The iButton has a 127K (24 page Word Document) memory allowing secret files to be FTP transferred to the button so that they are not left on the machine. These could be documents such as merger agreements, patent filings, PR Campaigns, legal documents, accounts, etc, etc. If an attempt is made to hack the iButton it destroys its secrets rather than revealing them.

5. PGP key storage.

6. Acts like an Immobiliser
The system also behaves like the immobiliser product so that when the iButton is removed if you leave to go to a meeting, lunch, etc the PC is either locked or the user is automatically logged off. If an iButton is lost or stolen you are allowed 3 attempts to logon with your PIN number, then the iButton locks for 30 minutes by its own internal 'unhackable' true time clock. Therefore a 4 digit PIN Number could potentially take 69 days, by which time you can centrally disable the users access to the network!
