• Secure Workstation
• Logon for Citrix ICA Client can be configured to either lock the workstation (Disconnect) or to log off from Citrix server upon removal of the smart card, hardware token or USB drive. No need to remember passwords. 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.
• Easier and safer logon procedures
• No mistakes trying to manually enter complicated passwords
• key access – cost-effective security
• One USB token or smart card may be used to store user credentials required to access other applications, eliminating the need for multiple devices. The user can also use the tokens or smart cards he already owns, storing user details to access multiple applications, thus only the free portion of smart card/token memory is reserved for Dekart application data.
