MatchLogon with fingerPIN - Overview

The MatchLogon security platform encompasses several key concepts and features that are critical to any security software package:

• Authentication - Verification of users' claimed identities by using one or more of the following: secrets (what you know), tokens (what you have) and biometrics (what you are and what you do).

• Authorization - Determination that a user is authorized to carry out a particular action, such as logging on to a VPN, running an application, accessing a database, etc.

• Audit - Detailed logging of authentication and authorization actions, with the ability to review and analyze logs to uncover suspicious activities, failures, etc.

• Administration - System administrators can enroll users and define policies that control authentication and authorization for particular users, user groups, or applications.

In addition to these four key components, MatchLogon is designed to enhance both overall system security and convenience by focusing on:

• Integrity - Authentication data (such as user authenticators), device/terminal/workstation communication, as well as policy and system settings are secured and protected from tampering and forgery by other applications, hackers, etc.

• Confidentiality - Secret application data as well as authentication and authorization information is encrypted to protect it from access by unauthorized users, hackers, etc.

• Non-Repudiation - Logging of security events that are supported by biometric authentication prevents users from claiming that an action occurred without their knowledge and acceptance.

MatchLogon is designed to address both overall system security and user acceptance with the following goals in mind:

Convenience - Security functionality should be easy to use, so that users will not attempt to bypass it.

Flexibility - Different applications call for different security measures, therefore security layers must be flexible in order to provide the right level of protection to the problem being addressed.

Centralization - Administrators must be able to manage the entire system in a consolidated and integrated manner, from a central or multiple locations.

Authenticator

Throughout the MatchLogon system, we use the term "Authenticator" to mean the authentication data contained in or captured by the biometric or non-biometric devices (such as fingerprint, facial image, USB token, RFID card, etc).
