Authentication
Enterprises are increasingly being challenged to protect their physical assets and network data but still need to provide manageable secure access. Simplification with increased security is met through authentication products such as Single Sign-On software and physical security devices (biometrics, tokens, etc.) Alternative Technology provides these enterprises the authentication products need to meet these ever increasing challenges.

- Biometrics
A biometric, or biometric identifier, is an objective measurement of a physical characteristic of an individual; which, when captured in a database, can be used to verify the identity or check against other entries in the database. The best known biometric is the fingerprint, but others include facial recognition and iris scans.

- Tokens
Replacing static passwords with strong two-factor authentication is an essential step for securing corporate networks, applications, and information assets. This capability is in the form of easy-to-use key chain and pin pad tokens. Combined with server based security features comprehensive, high performance two-factor authentication solution is provided.
