GoldKey PIV Token Raises the Bar for Active Directory Security

GoldKey® PIV Token Delivers Multi-Factor Authentication for Securing Active Directory Deployments

Press Release (PressBurner) Jun 02, 2010 - Once GoldKey’s PIV smart card token has been initialized and configured, GoldKey may be used on Windows 7 systems for authentication without installing any software, drivers, or middleware. This feature is especially important in secure applications where it is not possible to install outside software on a computer.

GoldKey’s PIV Token eliminates the need for an external smart card reader and introduces performance gains over traditional smart cards for log-in authentication and document signing. GoldKey does not require an internal battery for power and features a rugged, water-tight design – making it one of the most durable smart card tokens on the market.

GoldKey employs the PIV (Personal Identity Verification) specification developed by NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology). PIV is widely deployed in government and is now supported by Mac OS X and Windows 7. GoldKey’s PIV Token may be deployed within Windows XP & Vista through the use of middleware.
