Cloud Security Toolkit

With Smarx Cloud Security the manufacturers of web applications can create secure, hardware-based user authentication with the CRYPTO-BOX. The implementation works in all popular client-server environments. Smarx Cloud Security safely allows updates of the data in the dongle memory. Only the user with an appropriate CRYPTO-BOX can access secured web pages on the server. Additionally, the memory content of the dongle enables the user to determine how much access to grant for certain services within web applications.

Another component of the Smarx Cloud Security Toolkit is the Online License Management System (OLM). It enables automatic distribution of updates over the web with the help of update scripts.

Cloud Security is based on two main components:

• CRYPTO-BOX on the client site (the user)
• Web server of the software vendors (service providers)

To access the CRYPTO-BOX by the end-user, plugins are available for all major browsers. The plugin decrypts the requests generated on the server site, and then executes them in the web browser of the user. The result is also encrypted and sent back to the server. Upon successful authentication, the client is granted access to the website.
