VASCO Data Security Inc. announced that it is extending its PKI-based product line with two new authenticators: DIGIPASS® KEY 200 and DIGIPASS® KEY 860. DIGIPASS KEY 200 is a USB device with a PKI smart card and secure USB mass storage on a single device. DIGIPASS KEY 860 is a smart card ID device, an OTP authenticator and secure USB storage in one.

DIGIPASS KEY 200 is best suited for use in corporate environments and can be used for local and remote access to the corporate network and applications, the use of PKI for encryption and digital signature and mobile data security. It combines PKI technology, secured mass storage and the possibility to integrate RFID technology for physical access.

DIGIPASS KEY 860 is adapted for banking environments: it helps banks to comply with more stringent financial regulations (Sarbanes-Oxley, Basel II, HIPAA) and enhanced security requirements. It combines OTP technology with PKI and also offers secured mass storage and offers new opportunities to effectively combat phishing and man-in-the-middle attacks.

PKI functionality

Both DIGIPASS KEY 200 and DIGIPASS KEY 860 offer PKI-based digital signature for e-mails or transactions, encryption capability and strong authentication for PKI-enabled operating systems, VPNs and application. They both combine the security of a smart card with the flexibility of a card reader, allowing the user to generate and securely store digital certificates from any Certificate Authority on the device. The generation of private and public keys is managed on the devices and the keys cannot be exported from the smart card on the devices. Both devices can be used in conjunction with DIGIPASS CertiID, VASCO’s PKI-based client software suite and can be integrated within any application supporting PKCS#11, MS CAPI standards and CNG.

OTP functionality

DIGIPASS KEY 860 offers device-based OTP generation: with one push on the button of the DIGIPASS KEY 860, an OTP will be generated on the screen of the authenticator. The user will type the OTP into the log-on screen on the PC to access the application.

When combining the use of PKI with OTP, customers will need to install VASCO’s authentication server technology (VACMAN® Controller or IDENTIKEY®) to offer event and time based OTP capability next to PKI-functionality.

DIGIPASS KEY 200 offers smart card based OTP generation through the use of DIGIPASS® CertiID.

Secure USB Storage

Nowadays employees often carry sensitive corporate information on portable USB drives. These data are freely accessible and the USB devices can easily be lost or stolen. With DIGIPASS KEY 200 and DIGIPASS KEY 860 sensitive corporate data can be encrypted and stored on the authenticator. For secure storage, user transparent on fly encryption technology is used by both devices: the encryption keys are created on installation and the user will access the sensitive data on the encrypted partition using his PIN. Devices are available with a storage capacity of 2, 4 or 8 Gb.

Both DIGIPASS KEY 200 and DIGIPASS KEY 860 can have three pre-defined memory partitions: a partition with CD-ROM capability, an encrypted partition and a non-secure hard disc partition. On the CD-ROM enabled partition specific software can be stored. For instance banks can store a secured browser on it, this way banking customers will always be directed to the right URL when connecting their USB-authenticator. The information on this partition cannot be altered; as a result customers are protected from phishing and man-in-the-middle attacks. The encrypted partition can be used for secure data storage. For instance in the insurance world a policy could be put on the encrypted partition, the insured can sign it using PKI-based e-signature and would be able to access it for consultation in a later stage on the encrypted partition. The non-secured partition, allows the user to store accessory, non-confidential information.

“VASCO has extended its PKI-based offering, not only were we able to combine OTP and PKI functionality on a single device, we are also able to respond to other growing security needs such as mobile data security, locking of workstations, disc and data encryption. With all new features we are able to offer more functionality to our customers, such as zero foot print deployment or secure browser capability on the device and the combination of logical and physical access for corporate environments,” says Jan Valcke, President and COO at VASCO Data Security.

BluestSoft(R) USB Boot Maker Is New Port to Maximizing Your Computer Options

Finally, computer users have a software tool that makes a bootable backup USB. USB Boot Maker, developed by BluestSoft, Inc., gives users a myriad of options when it comes to extending the heft of their hard drive. Priced at $89.99, USB Boot Maker delivers a burnt USB that can boot to run your favorite application, instead of having to run from FD/CD/DVD.

“USB Boot Maker is a breakthrough product because it fills an important niche,” said BluestSoft founder Mike Inamine. “While there are many CD-burning software products on the market, this is the first USB-burning software to be available at a value price point.”

Designed by Inamine and his chief software engineer, who have more than 40 years of industry experience between them, USB Boot Maker is user-friendly and offers endless options. “It’s as simple as burning a CD,” said Inamine. “But USB has so much more to offer.”

Supporting Windows 7, Vista and XP operating systems, USB Boot Maker allows users to run their favorite application without the need for a CD/DVD burner – a real plus for Netbook users.

It can also:

– Create a bootable USB from a selected media or file – This allows users to create a backup USB from FD/CD/DVD or an image file (ISO or IMG) that they can specify.

– Create a generic bootable USB – This will burn a generic OS image of Windows PE, Linux, or FreeDOS into USB. After booting from the generic bootable USB, you are able to run your favorite applications.

“USB Boot Maker complements our current product base by adding a USB bootability, which enables the product to run faster, run an OS independently, and save any data on the USB,” noted Inamine, who founded the company in 2005. “Another advantage is that USB has a larger capacity and faster loading and reading speed than a CD/DVD. So whether you’re copying a graphics-rich game, images or digital video, USB Boot Maker saves you time and money.”

The benefits of this breakthrough application include:

– Creates Windows 7/Vista Installation USB by copying Windows 7/Vista Installation CD/DVD to USB memory – allowing users to use the USB for installing the programs into their PC.

– With built-in Windows PE2.0, Linux (KNOPPIX), and FreeDOS, users can create an OS bootable USB and run each OS from it. This allows users to run emergency system recovery or data backup.

– Allows users to create a back-up USB from CD image or CD-ROM and use the USB for installing the application into their PC.

– Option to copy necessary boot CDs/DVDs into a USB and play games by booting to run from it.

– Create a back-up USB from a music/movie CD/DVD and play them from the USB.

“The one thing our product doesn’t do is support the back-up of copyright-protected CD/DVD,” said Inamine. “It is the user’s responsibility to obtain any necessary permissions.”
