In both the federal space and the increasingly competitive corporate landscape, the need to improve the protection of information is forcing IT departments and corporate security teams to look beyond standard password/PIN-based authentication schemes. Many have addressed this heightened need for security with two-factor authentication solutions (something you have and something you know) that leverage the capabilities of smart cards for both physical and logical access control. Research In Motion (RIM) has used its expertise in wireless technology to enhance both the usability and security of smart card implementations for logical access/network authentication. Learn about how RIM has rolled the requirements for a secure, flexible wireless smart card reader for the BlackBerry smartphone into a smart card reader solution that works in both the desktop/laptop and mobile device environment. BlackBerry® Smart Card Reader balances security and usability - both of which are integral to effectively implementing a smart card program that supports both physical and logical access.
