Swivel offers a choice of tokenless multi-factor secure authentication solutions. It gives organisations of every size the control and freedom to focus on their core activites and future growth, rather than daily security concerns.
Secure, simple, multi-factor authentication made easy by the experts at Swivel - with complete freedom from tokens
Freedom from ineffective complicated solutions and upgrades
• Freedom from the management of ID cards and tokens
• Freedom from hidden charges, such as re-licensing fees, or the cost of an actual security breach
• Freedom for users from the hassle of a token, and from complicated interfaces
Swivel’s PINsafe solutions are reliable and resilient, delivering cost-effective authentication that is simple to deploy and to use.
The unique Swivel system combines the use of a registered PIN and a randomly generated security string. A one-time code (OTC) is extracted from the security string delivered to
the user simply by “reading off” the digits that correspond to the position in the string of the numbers in the registered PIN.
For example if the PIN is 2-4-6-8 and the security string is 5173920648 the OTC would be the 2nd, 4th, 6th and 8th digits: 1-3-2-6.
Simple and Effective
• The user only ever needs to remember a simple 4 digit PIN
• The PIN number is never entered, reducing the risk of exposure
• The OTC changes with each authentication
mobile - solutions
Swivel PINsafe’s SMS and Java solutions provide dual channel authentication, by allowing mobile devices to be used for the delivery of security strings. PINsafe sends the code to the mobile, both on demand or pre-sent, providing back-up should the user have no
access to their mobile service.
web-based - solutions
PINsafe’s single channel web-based solution is ideal for protecting Web pages, OWA or SSL VPNS. It is simple to integrate with SSL VPN technologies, and is an effective alternative to vulnerable username and password authentication. PINsafe uses TURing or PATTern to secure access, with no ongoing cost for authentication. The PIN is never entered, so it is
immune to keyboard loggers.
