SanDisk TrustedSignins - Manual

TrustedSignins ™ from SanDisk ®
Easy to Buy, Easy to Use
For many years, an account name and unchanging (or infrequently
changing) password have been used to gain telephone or online
access to an individual’s bank, brokerage, or other accounts. But
account names aren’t necessarily private and passwords can be
stolen, guessed, or even shared. In fact, with the dozens of
account names and passwords that people need to remember,
many of them get written down.
This has been considered an acceptable risk—until now—when
many governments are mandating the use of tokens that generate
a one-time password for financial transactions and companies and
gaming sites are now encouraging their use as well. Unfortunately,
your customers and employees soon may find themselves with
a necklace of tokens—one for each site or account—that except
for granting access can’t do anything else. And that leads to
dissatisfaction. TrustedSignins supports multiple virtual tokens
that can be used to authenticate to hundreds of institutions.
Partnering With the Best
Partnering with RSA Security and VeriSign, the security industry’s
biggest names, SanDisk, the world’s leading supplier of flash memory
data storage card products, has developed TrustedSignins. This
revolutionary solution runs on a standard SanDisk USB flash
memory device (UFD) and TrustedFlash
™ memory cards for
mobile devices such as phones and handheld game consoles.
A benefit of TrustedSignins over dedicated tokens is that your
company does not need to bear the expense of stocking and
supplying them to your customers. After an employee or
customer buys a standard SanDisk device at any of the 185,000
retail locations, it is registered with their account at your company.
As an incentive, your company can even offer a rebate.
