Dekart Terminal Logon now available: added security for remote connections with SSH and Telnet

Dekart Terminal Logon provides additional level of security for remote connections using SSH and Telnet protocols.

Dekart Terminal Logon is an intermediary access software, performing user authentication for connections between client terminal programs and remote server using Telnet and SSH protocols.

Features:

• Account information is stored and updated on the hardware token
• Connection to server and authentication are automatically performed without user interaction.

Benefits:

• The problem of human memory limitations (the need to remember account information) is eliminated, thus the influence of human factor on information security is reduced.
• Simpler logon procedure for user connecting to a remote system.
• Less time-consuming routines for managing authorization system in the event that the number of users or their access rights change.

Additional features

Due to the in-built SSH client, Dekart Terminal Logon allows any Telnet terminal program work with SSH servers. This becomes very important when migrating from systems using insecure Telnet protocol to systems using SSH protocol (the protocol complying with security standards). Dekart Terminal Logon makes it possible to use Telnet terminal programs, thus making the migration transparent for user and simpler for administrators.
