HID Soft Tokens simply and cost-effectively provide users secure access to resources, anytime, anywhere. When users need a network, system or cloud-based application, they simply download the Soft Token application to their existing smart phones, PDAs and laptops, enter a pin and use the short-term, One-Time Password (OTP) that’s generated to gain access.

The HID portfolio of Soft Tokens includes:

• Mobile Soft Tokens: available on leading handset operating systems, including BlackBerry®, Apple® iPhone®, Windows Mobile, and many other Java 2 Platform, Micro Edition (J2ME) enabled devices.
• Web Soft Tokens: allow users to register several machines and then use any leading Web browser for Windows or Macintosh to perform strong authentication from those machines.
• PC Soft Tokens: can be easily distributed on a public website or as part of a standard machine build that is set up by IT staff. Users can access the token from the Microsoft® Windows system tray or launch the application from the Windows Start menu.

The broad range means organization can choose the solution that best meets their needs to:

• Enhance Security – multi-factor authentication; ensure mobile workers gain secure access to resources, without needing a dedicated device; extend strong authentication to business partners and suppliers.
• Lower Total Cost of Ownership – no hardware investments; simple and cost-effective for organization to deploy and manage; ability to recycle and reuse the Soft Token licenses - no expiration date.
• Improve Productivity – easy for the user to incorporate into their existing workflow
