SmartCity® Logical Access

With different passwords and logon procedures for so many applications today, accessing PCs and networks as well as storing and managing those passwords has become a real issue to users.  SmartCity® Logical Access  overcomes these issues by allowing users to securely access their PC, networks, and applications using a smart card and card reader.

Using a SmartCity® card a user can:

• Gain access to a PC or network

• Lock or unlock their workstation

• Logon to predetermined applications

• Access the Internet, intranet or extranet

• Augment existing content management systems by allowing access to data

As companies strive to make their systems more secure, they are also becoming more complex. In an effort to circumvent complex login routines, users frequently write down passwords, use hacker-friendly codes or bother the helpdesk with forgotten password requests. Even the use of secure ID tokens is not without problems.

The use of a single sign-on technique which encompasses a series of multiple logons to various systems and data areas, in a single process, is the most simple yet secure solution available.

SmartCity® Security Solutions offer a single logon process which can encompass access to computers, networks, the internet or specific sites. It uses a smart card which carries out multiple logons for an individual. Additional security can be added to the card using a biometric, such as a fingerprint.

Two-phase access is provided using the card (what you have) and a user’s PIN number (what you know), while three-phase access is provided by adding a unique facet of the user themselves (what you are).

The SmartCity® card is not limited to the office environment. It can be used to provide VPN access for remote users, providing a single access token whether in the office or outside.

Additional SmartCity® applications can be added to Card to provide 

• Access secure areas within a building

• Use car parking, gym or other facilities

• Purchase items in the staff canteen or vending areas.

• Tickets

SmartCity Logical Access is the simple and yet secure way to ensure Users can access their systems and data.
