Overview
Background
In organizations where users simultaneously work on multiple computer
environments, the use of smartcards to secure logons and applications (such
as email encryption) generates a costly and administrative-intensive overhead.
The Challenge
Due to the fact that a dedicated smartcard and smartcard reader have to be
purchased, programmed and installed on both per user and computer bases
multiplied by the number of computers and users in the organization, the TCo
and administrative effort required to support such environments is extremely high.
for example, an employee that has to access 3 computers simultaneously would
need to have 3 smartcards, one for every computer environment (domain) plus 3
smartcard readers, each reader connected to a separate computer.
The HSL Solution
HSl developed the Secure Multi-Domain Smartcard Reader (MDR) technology to
provide a simple and yet secure solution to this common problem.
The HSl Multi-Domain Smartcard Reader (MDR) is a single secure smartcard
reader which connects simultaneously to multiple computers thus allowing a
user to utilize a single smartcard while working securely on multiple computer
environments at the same time.
