ICT Security – Information System Security

ICT - Information and Communication Technologies

Authentication

Due to the ever growing demands on the security of information systems, the area of safe authentication became an important part of the comprehensive solution of information and communication security.

Information and Communication Security

Information security has to be solved hand in hand with physical and personal security. The everyday practice suggests that weak authentication is one of the most frequent causes of leakage of confidential information or misuse of sources available within the information system.

Dual Smart Cards

The truth is that even today currently available technical facilities offer a very effective way of user-friendly and still secure authentication of users entering various objects and information system, all based on a hardware authentication objects such as dual smart cards (smart PKI chip cards with a contactless chip). It is obvious that implementation of dual smart cards together with related hardware and software does not provide complete security as this requires introduction of other technologies and products, development of documentation including the life cycle of the solution, solution of emergency situations and training of administrators and users.

ICT Security:

• Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) - electronic signature, encryption of emails, data and communication etc.
• Secure authentication of users - smart tokens, PKI, Single Sign-On (two/three-factor authentication)
• Data Security - encryption, administration of I/O equipment, document management
• Security of Data and Communication (HSM modules) - security of Certification authorities, VPN connection, internal and external communication, anti-malware, email, web applications
• Integration of physical, personal and ICT security - Dual/hybrid PKI smart cart, complete administration of users, tokens, keys, certificates, rights etc.
