It's amazing that this OTP Token Authentication is a market that "May Set New Growth Story" when Wave VSC 2.0 can do what it does for the MFA market!!! Holy Cow!!! Wave VSC 2.0 should be the blazing hot security solution for organizations, not OTP - One Time Password products!!! C'mon really?! Please read about the Wave virtual smart card (VSC) below!!

Get better security at less than half the cost

Passwords are weak. Tokens are expensive. Don’t compromise on security or price.

Wave Virtual Smart Card does anything your physical smart cards and tokens do, but it starts with hardware you already have: the Trusted Platform Module (TPM), a hardware security chip built into the motherboard of most business-class PCs. You may not even know you have it, but once you do, the TPM can be used in a myriad of ways. Wave turns it into a smart card, embedded directly into your laptop.

What can it be used for?

What do you use your smart card for today? With the exception of keying open the door at work, Wave Virtual Smart Card can perform any of the services or applications you rely on your smart card for today. Secure VPN, WiFi, remote desktop, cloud applications – it can all be done with a virtual smart card.

One helpdesk call you'll never get: "I lost my virtual smart card again..."

There are so many ways to lose a token – couch cushions, street drains, curious toddlers. In fact, up to 30% of all tokens are eventually lost. It’s much harder to lose a laptop, and you notice a lot faster when you do.

The user experience with a virtual smart card is simple: he or she logs in with a PIN (authentication factor number one). The TPM (authentication factor number two) then transparently identifies the device to the network and connects the user to all the approved services. It’s one less thing for users to carry around.

What will you do with >50% TCO savings?*

Tokens and smart cards require an additional hardware purchase, plus the time and money to ship to remote users. Use something that’s already in the users’ hands (the TPM), and your acquisition and deployment costs are lower.

Then consider the management savings in not having to replace lost and stolen tokens. That means fewer helpdesk calls, less interruption of user productivity, and fewer acquisition and shipping costs.

When we say “secure”…

…we mean it. Our solution starts with a proven hardware root-of-trust. Multi-factor authentication is an established best-practice for strong authentication: the TPM-based virtual smart card is one factor (something you have) and the user PIN is a second factor (something you know).

Secure device & user authentication

Sometimes it feels like security is more effective at deterring your users than hackers. But you still have to protect your enterprise resources, and we’re here to help. We take pride in securing your network, data, and resources to an unprecedented level, without causing a revolt from either IT or your users. In fact, your users probably won’t even know we’re there.

Here’s how it works:

Trusted Platform Module (TPM) + Wave’s ERAS for TPM Management = hardware-secured, fully-managed authentication

Most of your devices already come with TPMs (check out our “What is a TPM?” brochure if you’re not sure why this is exciting). This security chip comes attached to the motherboard of most enterprise-class PCs. There’s nothing “add-on” about it. The TPM provides a verifiable, unique identity for each machine.

Wave’s ERAS for TPM Management gives IT remote, centralized management of all TPMs on enterprise computers and tablets.

With this control, IT can set policies and dictate which machines and users have authority to access which resources. IT can ensure that only known and approved devices are accessing your network. And what’s more, IT can prove it with detailed activity logs.

Token-free, password-free user authentication

We know you’ve dreamt about shredding your list of passwords. Go on and do it.

Because you are starting the authentication process in the device’s hardware, the user doesn’t have to interact with it. All users see is their usual Windows log-in screen – no more additional passwords to access the VPN or other resources. They just sign in once, and the secure credentials in their TPMs securely and quickly connect them to everything they need. Say goodbye to user frustration and slow OS performance.

Decrease expenses with virtual smart cards

You know what else happens when you take passwords out of the equation? A lot fewer calls to IT. Imagine if you took password resets out of the picture – that frees up a chunk of IT time, lowering your operating expenses significantly.

If your organization currently uses traditional tokens or smart cards, switching to virtual smart cards takes an even bigger burden off of IT – we use the hardware-protected credentials in the TPM to create a virtual smart card, which performs the same functionality as traditional smart cards. That means no need to purchase, deploy, replace or maintain external tokens, smart cards or smart card readers. Because virtual smart cards are already on your machines and can’t be forgotten, lost or stolen, you have lower capital expenses and lower operating expenses.

Wave's is the only management to support virtual smart cards on Windows 7, as well as Windows 8 and 8.1.
