 eToken is a durable USB key that serves as an inexpensive, yet extremely reliable two-factor authentication device for organizations. For example, organizations using eToken for Windows 2000/XP Smart Card Logon, the employee must plug in the eToken (something he has) and type in the eToken password (something he knows). This proves to be a highly secure and yet easily integrated solution for all types of environments.

eToken Enterprise, the plug-and-play ready-to-use software that allows IT administrators to easily integrate eToken into their existing security framework, provides organizations with strong Windows 2000/XP Smart Card Logon, security for online web services and VPNs (Virtual Private Networks).

In a February 2001 review, SC Magazine wrote:

“eToken and iKey are very similar products…I think the eToken kit does get the edge though in documentation. The SDK user manual is easier to follow…The eToken and iKey editors work in a pretty similar fashion, although I would say that the eToken editor is more intuitive.”

USB connector cable so you can easily plug the eToken into a computer’s USB Port. This is

computer in your enterprise.”

industries to secure computer networks.”
