Applications Enabled with On-demand Authentication

Mobile Employees
The Challenge: Supporting a diverse base of growing users

Contractors
The Challenge: Finding a secure way to issue and manage credentials to temporary workers The Resolution: Ondemand is a zero footprint authenticator. No more hardware tokens to recover at the end of a contractor assignment

Business Continuity
The Challenge: Maintaining strong security during a business disruption The Resolution: Ondemand stands up a self service module to rapidly on-board users and deploy On-demand credentials in the event of an emergency

The Resolution: Ondemand provides a 24x7 method for supporting occasional workers without issuing hardware or software tokens to every employee

Dynamic Seed Provisioning


Utilizes industry-standard Cryptographic Token Key Initiation Protocol (CT-KIP)

Published as IETF Internet-Draft (RFC 4758)
