As Authentication Server for NIPASS (dynamic password system)

The best way for networking identification and authentication control
It has been a tremendous growth in the Internet or Intranet applications; this trend makes the user identification become very critical. However the user identification must be secure, convenient and fast.
Authentication Server developed by New Image Co. provides the best solution to meet the need of secure networking identification and authentication. Authentication Server is your best choice for Internet user control, remote access control and user identification.

An integral scheme for the identification and authentication
Based on the two-factor authentication principle, NIPASS is developed to authenticate the user identity and to overcome the weakness of the simple and static system. New Image's Authentication Server provides the management function for NIPASS, which can work with any other servers in the internal or external networks through API for Windows or Unix. All the communications are secured.

Ease to integration
It is inconvenient for an enterprise to manage the different passwords used by the different applications. And it is troublesome to memorize various passwords needed to enter into different applications. New Image's Authentication Server can support the function of authentication for different servers or applications through integral API support. In other words, Authentication Server can be used to simplify the password systems for logon activities. It will lower the burden of a user to memorize many passwords and bring more control over the entire system.
Authentication Server provides the service of remote network access control. It includes ready-to-use RADIUS server to be in conjunction with the entry program, router or firewall for user authentication and authorization control. It also supports MSGINA driver installed in Windows NT or Windows 2000 platform to check the logon activity interactively, and lets the logon in the enterprise networks more secure.
Authentication Server is built on larger scale data handling architecture, capable of handling a large mumber of users at the same time. It can support many kinds of database architecture. Management and administration tools are available for the administrator to centralize the control over the token card and the token user. The main feature New Image's Authentication Server is the system administrator can record the seed which is initiated by the server into token card. The administrator has total control of the secrets.
The system administrator is allowed to remotely manage NIPASS, and is also supervised by the administrative policy defined by the enterprise.

Features of Authentication Server
1.Verifies and authenticates the token code in the networks.
2.Plays the role as single sign-on server between software applications in the networks.
3.Provides the transactional digital signature function to achieve the need of no-repudiation in the e-business environment.
4.Embedded with high speed database engine, supports database and multiprocessor architecture. Easy to integrate with other applications. Capable of handling large numbers of data at the same time.
5.Management and administration tool is available for initialization of NIPASS, suspense of token card, entry of user attributes and etc.
6.Provides the management utility for token card management such as loss, suspense, reinitialization and etc.
7.Several kinds of reports are included to express the status of token card or the log of user activities and transactions.
8.Works with infrared recorder/reader to record and store the private key or its relevant summary into NIPASS.
9.Tamper-proof device:NI-Memory is included to protect contents of database encrypted by 128 bits private key. Based on the secret sharing algorithm, the master key of NI-Memory can be split into N shares, and the M shares of N can recovers the master key of NI-Memory.
10.Supports RADIUS protocols.
11.Provides API & SDK samples for software integration.
