DynaPass cellular out-of-band wireless and portable system simplifies and enhances authentication security.

The introduction of DynaPass can pay for itself in a very short time by reducing authentication support processes while increasing security to the highest levels.

The maintenance of password-authenticated systems is a nightmare for systems administrators who must balance security with the constant battle to maintain safeguarded, frequently changed passwords for each user. Updating user. s passwords and propagating them to new users as well as providing telephone support for users who have forgotten their passwords is one of the larger expenses and burdens on information systems helpdesks.

Security features

Dynapass - the 'Open Sesame' system - gives you a password you cannot lose, forget or leave in the wrong hands. A password you get every time you need it and in between it does not exist.

DynaPass identifies the individual , provides the user with a 'one-time' password and opens up the user account only for the time that the user is active.

DynaPass generates 'one-time' passwords, that are limited in time, impossible to guess and easy to administrate - even if there is thousands of active users. The passwords are distributed to the users on a communication link that is completely isolated from the link used by the user terminal or workstation.The password is displayed, as an SMS-message, on the user's cellular phone or pager.

The cellular phone  

The cellular phone verifies the user's identity. Firstly, the subscription and access to the network is controlled and protected by a mechanism, for example a SmartCard, built into the phone. Secondly, the phone is protected by a personal code.

The user needs a cellular phone with at least a receiving feature since DynaPass automatically and constantly will distribute passwords to the user's phone.

If the phone even has a sending feature, for example GSM, the user himself can initiate a new password whenever he likes.

The User Manager

The DynaPass User Manager is the only part of DynaPass that is normally visible to the administrator. The purpose is to give the administrator a simple way to connect a user account with a phone number .

The User Manager also provides a way for the administrator to 'kick-start' the process for an individual user.
