Solutions for the Department of Defense/Intelligence
Increase Security and Improve Auditability
Password based authentication is susceptible to hacking, spoofing, and lax security practices by employees. OneTouch, makes "smart card" deployments easy and efficient by replacing passwords with fingerprint authentication to ensure that only approved users can gain access to networks and applications.

OneTouch fingerprint authentication systems are ideal for use with common access cards (CAC) or "smart cards" and add another layer of information security. OneTouch’s flexible authentication policies support the DoD’s three tenets of authentication security—something you are, something you know, and something you have. With OneTouch, administrators can elect to combine multiple credentials to achieve the right balance of security, convenience and cost.

Every user automatically logs on according to policy and each logon creates a biometric audit trail based on a fingerprint authentication.

OneTouch utilizes DoD encryption standards via Microsoft Crypto-API, which is FIPS-140 certified.

Compliant
OneTouch is an approved “information assurance enabler” within DoD. It is already operational within OSD/SecDef, OSDCIO-NII and Intel. It integrates seamlessly with Microsoft Active Directory to make common access card deployments efficient and employee friendly. OneTouch is integrated with the following DoD applications: CIO Portal, Notes, Exchange and RAS Dialer. OneTouch is currently listed as "In-evaluation" by NIST for NIAP Common Criteria certification.

Lower Password Administration Costs
On average, organizations spend $150 per employee/per year* on help desk costs driven by forgotten and expired passwords. In addition, productivity is lost when people are “locked out” of their systems. OneTouch takes passwords and password management out of the hands of users. Every authentication takes place with a simple touch of a finger. After deploying OneTouch, the Office of the Secretary of Defense reported a 90% reduction in password related help desk calls** – along with high user satisfaction. In addition, OneTouch is ideal for CAC or "smart card" secuerity environments.

Single Action Shutdown
The tight integration of OneTouch and Active Directory creates a unified biometric solution solution that enables administrators to shut down a user's entire access profile with a single action.

Easy to Install
OneTouch is easy for IT administrators to integrate into new or existing Active Directory networks most often without the need for outside services or integration support. OneTouch integrates seamlessly with Active Directory to make common access card deployments efficient and employee friendly.

Ease of Use
Employees strongly prefer the convenience of OneTouch fingerprint authentication to passwords.
