Key Features and Benefits
  • ASAS utilizes a unique a challenge/response puzzle-solving process between the A-Guard server and A-Key USB token, so that the shared secret and password are never communicated -- rendering it uncompromisable for authentication to VPN, LAN and web portal access.
  • ASAS provides integration with the latest technology platforms such as MS SQL, MSDE, and Oracle, as well as ISA, IAS, MS VPN, RADIUS, Check Point VPN-1 and Cisco VPN -- allowing customers to use off-the-shelf solutions, avoid the costs associated with training on new proprietary products while leveraging systems most networks are already using.
  • ASAS integrates with the leading VPN solutions in the market, supporting most industry VPN standards such as SSL, PPTP, and L2TP, as well as SSH, IPSec and x.509 digital certificates -- allowing seamless integration into an existing VPN infrastructure and providing networks with the most important piece to a secure VPN solution: assuring the identity of its users through two-factor authentication.
  • ASAS makes the roll out of security cost effective by offering a superior product at a price point that is typically 55%-65% less than competitive solutions, so security is not compromised because of overwhelming, budget-breaking up-front and recurring costs.
  • A-Key is a portable, tamper proof (FIPS Level 3 Compliant), hardware based two-factor authentication device that is smaller than an average house key and as easy to use as an ATM card - ensuring that users will immediately adopt the technology without expensive and time consuming training.
  • The ARemote Client supports Win98, WinME, Win2000 and WinXP

ASASTM provides the ARemoteVPN™ plugin for VPN-1® SecuRemote™/VPN-1® SecureClient™ that ensures that an individual is correctly identified as an authorized user to establish a VPN-1 tunnel by applying a simple but extremely secure approach using a password and the A-KeyTM authentication token to provide credentials during the VPN negotiation process with the FireWall-1 or VPN-1 Gateway. The VPN-1 gateway then, using RADIUS, communicates with the A-GuardTM server that verifies the users identity by performing a patent-pending challenge/response technique based on the shared secret assigned to that A-KeyTM. To protect the network from access by unauthorized users, the VPN-1 session terminates once the A-Key is removed and can only be re-established by repeating the authentication process.
