Rohos Logon Key and Mifare Smart Card combine to deliver Windows secure logon solution

Friday, August 6, 2010

Rohos software, Tesline-Service’s two-factor authentication solution, can now provide security and network access to Windows systems. The Rohos Logon Key v.2.8 can support MiFare S50/S70 smart cards, making authentication available and convenient for companies that require their employees logon to a single computer.

The Rohos software with the MiFare smart cards are hoping to provide protection from constant friction wears with the interface between token and PC. Additionally there are hopes of using the Mifare token with Rohos Logon Key as an Access Card for the company users.

Using the contactless smart card will also support remote desktop login using Microsoft Remote Desktop Control utility.

The solution is specifically tailored for the Windows user and the companies who use Window PCs. It consolidates physical and network access into a single solution which enhances usability and user friendliness. [end]
