New Dekart Logon V.2.18 – new ways to protecting access to desktop and notebook computers – store all Windows passwords on one portable storage device.

July, 14 – Dekart ( www.dekart.com ) announces the release of Dekart Logon version 2.18, a user friendly access control software, that offers a secure and convenient login to Windows accounts without the need to memorize passwords. Dekart Logon easily protects access to Windows to keep private and confidential information secure.

The new Dekart Logon V.2.18 has an easy-to-use interface, which does not require much time to understand how the software works. The new version adds support for the ACOS1, ASECard and SMARTCOS smart cards, and such commonly used devices as USB flash drives and CD disks. The smart cards, tokens or flash drives are used to protect access to the computers and lock them from unsolicited users whenever users leave their workplaces. Users can now use only one device to store multiple passwords and logins they use to access Windows machines, which means better convenience and improved security.

Home users will find this new software useful for their desktop and notebook computers. Businesses and organizations can now use Dekart Logon to maximize the security and convenience of their users, automate business processes and save costs. Users do not have to lose time attempting to enter long complicated password with no success.

How it works: The user connects his hardware key to his computer (or to any workstation in the domain), and is then prompted for a PIN code. If an invalid PIN is entered more than 3 times, the hardware key is blocked. After successfully entering the correct PIN (and, optionally, providing his biometric data), the user is logged into the computer and has access to his Windows resources without having to type in his username or password. Whenever the user temporarily leaves the computer, he can temporarily lock the computer by simply disconnecting the hardware key.

Features:

• Multi-factor Authentication: users can be positively identified for access to Windows resources via a wide range of hardware and biometric devices.
• Secure Workstation: Dekart Logon can be configured to lock the workstation or to log off from Windows upon removal of the card, hardware token or USB drive.
• Easy and Automated access: No mistakes trying to manually enter complicated passwords.
• Hardware variety: the ability to choose from a large variety of supported devices, from different vendor' smart cards and tokens to ordinary USB flash drives, allows choosing the device which would best satisfy user's needs.
• Authentication for multiple users and domains: Dekart logon can be configured to allow access to several workstations and domains with the use of a single card.

Supported operating systems and hardware devices: Dekart logon allows to secure notebook and desktop computers running Microsoft Windows 95/98/ME/NT/2000/XP. The software supports Alladin, G&D, Eutron, Rainbow, ruToken, Datakey, GemPlus, Schlumberger smart cards and tokens, as well as the ACOS-1 card, SMARTCOS smart card and any USB flash drives.
