TrustBearer Access
Simple, Strong Authentication with Trusted Devices
Usernames and passwords are becoming increasingly burdensome for users to remember and present a security risk if they are acquired by an unauthorized third-party.
TrustBearer Access provides strong user authentication for web applications without the complex, costly deployment of new back-end infrastructure, policies, and procedures.
Low-Cost Migration to Strong Authentication
TrustBearer Access eliminates the need for usernames and passwords from the user, the user's computer, and the network, but does not replace usernames and passwords from within a secure server environment. The password can only be unlocked using a trusted device.
Organizations are reluctant to overhaul their legacy systems, but they also need to integrate strong authentication in their existing online applications. TrustBearer Access provides a cost-effective transition from usernames and passwords to a public-key-enabled system and requires minimal changes to the online, password-based applications it supports.
Additionally, TrustBearer Access is not limited to passwords; it can be used to unlock and securely present credit card numbers and a variety of other private information types, while keeping the users in control of their private information.
Rapid Deployment of Applications & Devices
TrustBearer Access works with existing authentication devices, such as government-issued smart cards, and new devices like bank-issued smart USB tokens. The product is an application build on top of the TrustBearer Live platform- hereby providing the flexibility and central management capabilities of TrustBearer Live.
TrustBearer Access is designed for the rapid integration of new authentication techniques and devices. New devices can be dynamically supported by adding support to the TrustBearer Access server. Organizations can choose from a variety of trusted devices, which implement different security methods, without modifying their applications or users' experience.
A Case Example Using TrustBearer Access:
OpenID by TrustBearer
OpenID is an open standard adopted by several major companies that eliminates the need for multiple usernames and passwords for different websites by using a single OpenID. By default OpenID supports username and password authentication and is prone to common phishing and man-in-the-middle attacks. TrustBearer Labs extended OpenID to both support strong authentication and thwart these common attacks using its TrustBearer Access platform.
We enabled OpenID with TrustBearer Access to create OpenID by TrustBearer. With minor development effort - OpenID now supported millions of smart cards and hardware authentication devices with more devices being supported on a weekly basis. It is less susceptible to phishing attacks and virtually unsusceptible to man-in-the-middle attacks.
With TrustBearer Access, any web-based application can be quickly enabled to use hardware authentication devices in a simple and self-service model without requiring any changes to the authentication device itself nor does it require complex back-end changes.

For the Effortless Use of Trusted Devices & Credentials on the Web
At the core of each of our products is TrustBearer Live, which is an application delivery platform for the rapid development and deployment of web applications that use trusted devices (A device or personal affect that can be used with a machine to verify identity), such as smart cards, biometrics, and security tokens. TrustBearer Live allows issuers of trusted devices to consolidate and centrally manage middleware - enabling future proof applications that can scale with ease.
