Comda Authenticator implements a Two-Factor Authentication mechanism which is stronger than traditional passwords authentication as it requires two authentication components to complete the authentication process:
Methods of delivering the OTP
Comda Authenticator delivers one-time passwords through the below optional OTP components:
Comsign Authenticator system is comprised of an Authentication server and personal tokens. Each token contains a unique seed based on a symmetric key and runs a password generation algorithm. The algorithm generates one-time passwords based on the seed and these methods:
The generated OTP, combined with the user’s personal identification number (PIN), creates a passcode. This passcode is unique and extremely difficult to hack.
When a user attempts to gain access to an organization’s critical application or a VPN for instance, he is required to type his one-time password which is displayed on the token and his PIN. The passcode is sent to Comsign Authentication server which verifies it and decides whether to permit or deny access to the user. The communication between the application and the Authentication server is highly secured and data is protected.
With Comda Authenticator users do not need to worry about any internet/cellular or network connectivity issues. The Comsign mobile app algorithm doesn’t require internet connectivity to generate OTPs and not even a SIM card. With this mobile app users can work from anywhere, including airplanes using Airplane mode.
Wide variety of supported applications
Comda Authenticator can protect every application that supports Radius server for authentication, including VPN and databases that require strong authentication. Among the supported applications and vendors, you can find the below:
