USB Authentication Token

Use windows admin password in secured way!


Introduction

• It is a hardware security key.


• A physical device provide an additional layer of
security for online accounts and authentication
processes.
• Used as a two-factor authentication (2FA)
Working Principle
1.Hardware security:
The USB authentication token contains a dedicated microcontroller or chip that provides
a secure environment for cryptographic operations and key storage. This hardware ensures the
protection of sensitive information.
2.USB connectivity:
The token connects to a computer or other compatible devices via a USB interface. This
allows data transfer and communication between the token and the system.
3.Authentication initiation:
When a user wants to access a protected system or application, they insert the USB
authentication token into the USB port of their device.
4.Authentication factors:
The token may prompt the user to provide additional authentication factors, such as a PIN
or biometric scan, to establish the user's identity.
Working Principle
5.Cryptographic operations:
The token utilizes its microcontroller or smart card chip to perform cryptographic operations,
such as generating digital signatures or one-time passwords (OTPs), based on the provided
authentication factors.
6.Authentication verification:
The generated authentication code or signature is sent back to the system or application for
verification. The system uses the public key associated with the USB authentication token to
validate the code or signature.
7.Access control:
If the authentication code or signature is successfully verified, the user is granted access to the
protected system or application. The USB token acts as proof of the user's identity and ensures
secure authentication.
Components
1.Microcontroller or Chip:
Executes cryptographic operations and manages secure storage.
2.Secure Storage:
Microcontroller or Chip, Safely stores cryptographic keys and sensitive data.
3.USB Interface:
Enables connection, data transfer, and communication with the system.
4.Cryptographic Algorithms:
Supports encryption, digital signatures, and OTP generation.
5.Authentication Factors:
Includes input components like keypads or biometric sensors.
6.Firmware and Software:
Application
USB authentication token keys used as security for emails….!
Also have a wide range of applications across various fields:
1. User
2. Secure Access Control
3. Two-Factor Authentication (2FA):
4. Remote Work and VPNs:
5. Government and Defense:
6. Password Management:
7. Digital Signatures and Document Encryptions:
Cost Estimation
USB Authentication Token Cost Rs.500 – 4000 Depending its features
1.Development and Engineering Costs:
The hardware, firmware, and software for the USB authentication token. It involves expertise in
embedded systems, cryptography, and software development.
2.Component Costs: The cost of individual components, such as the microcontroller or
chip, secure storage, USB interface, authentication factor components, and other necessary
hardware, will contribute to the overall cost. The selected components' quality, performance, and
security certifications may affect their price.
3.Compliance and Certifications: If the USB authentication token needs to meet
specific industry standards or certifications, such as FIDO, Common Criteria, or FIPS 140-2,
additional costs may be incurred for compliance testing, documentation, and certification
processes.
