| Designed as a highly flexible and customizable
toolkit, SecureTec SDK allows exercising as much control over user authentication
as required by an application. It permits developers and integrators to
easily leverage the full power of SecureTec authentication technology for
their own applications. By design, application development with SecureTec
SDK allows for subsequent access to all the technologies and devices supported
by SecureSuite and the SecureTec Authentication Platform. |
SecureTec technology specifically offers
the following system development benefits:
- The modular architecture integrates easily with existing applications
and services.
- Our technology works with many different authentication technologies
from multiple manufacturers. System Integrators have the power to choose
the most appropriate technologies and have the ability to upgrade to
the latest technologies with minimal effort.
- Multi-layer, 3DES or AES encryption to prevent fraudulent capture
or replay of exchanged data.

Using SecureTec as your authentication platform
has a positive impact on administrative and maintenance cost, whether it
is implemented with a single application or within a network of different
applications:
- Lower maintenance cost: Once users register advanced credentials
in a SecureTec enabled system, no ongoing maintenance is necessary.
Unlike passwords, which require regular updates and changes, advanced
authentication credentials remain stable.
- Lower administration cost: SecureTec provides centralized administration
and management tools via its Unified Authentication Model, minimizing
an administrator's efforts to synchronize and update policy and account
information.
- Lower support cost: SecureTec systems eliminate help desk
calls for forgotten passwords or PINs. (Surveys have shown that help
desk calls for forgotten passwords cost $150 to $300 annually per person
for every person on the system!)

Using SecureTec as your authentication platform
also has a significant impact on overall system security and effectiveness.
Why should you use a simple password to protect an elaborate system of
firewalls and other security measures?
Leveraging SecureTec SDK makes it easy to
replace the weakest security link - your unsecure password authentication
- with the most advanced and convenient authentication technologies. Following
are the key areas where the SecureTec SDK and I/O Software's SecureTec
Authentication Platform have a direct impact on security and effectiveness:
- Protection against data loss and fraud: When you integrate
SecureTec technology into your applications, your employees, customers,
or business partners no longer need passwords that can be exchanged
or stolen. Your proprietary data is more secure when protected by SecureTec
compatible technologies such as biometrics, tokens, and smart cards.
- Confidence: Whether you create an application designed to reside
on an Intranet or run over the Internet, users will feel more confident
using the SecureTec based system and relying on its data integrity than
with traditional passwords only.
- Security-through-Convenience: Users are more likely to use
a convenient technology to replace their unsecure but familiar passwords.
'Single-touch' technology, wizard driven management, and a consistent
Windows-look-and-feel are just a few of the features of SecureTec that
makes a user-life easier, dramatically increasing user acceptance of
new technologies and associated security.
