RFL DigitaID™ Advantages

The Real Picture

Man In Middle Attack ( The most dangerous cyber-attack today)

The Key to the cloud

The Internet was designed for sharing, not security. And as more and more sophisticated services move online, so do fraudsters.

Compromised identities have reached a level where weaknesses in username and password and traditional software security solutions have been exposed. There is a growing demand for strong two factor authentication, but the more secure hardware devices are in general too complicated to use and expensive to scale for the majority of users and services until now.

Disruptive Authentication Technology

RFL breaks the authentication price/strength/complexity relationship with the DigitaID Key. DigitaID Key is a hardware authentication token that looks like a small USB memory stick, but it is actually a keyboard. With the command of an integrated touch button, the device can send a time-variant, secure login code as if it was typed in from a keyboard. And because USB-keyboards are standard on all computers the DigitaID Key works on all platforms and browsers without the need for client software.

DigitaID Key - Your ubiquitous key

Through a growing partner community, the DigitaID Key is being used for secure access to the range of IT applications, including email, VPN, Windows login, disc encryption and web single sign-on. By also providing a hosted validation service and supporting open identity standards one single DigitaID Key can be used for any number of applications.

Cross Platform

All RFL Key devices work with Windows 2000, Windows XP SP2 or later, and Vista without administrator privileges or installing any software or drivers. RFL drives will also work on Macintosh computers running Mac OS 10.4 or later, or Linux computers running Linux 2.6 or later. Just plug it in and go—there is no software to install.

Easy to Deploy and Maintain

With an RFL hosted management solution you can effectively outsource your equipment resources and hardware/software management services at zero cost. All you have to provide is the administrative staff to create and maintain policies, and RFL will assure your systems are always available and up-to-date.

Fast & Reliable

RFL devices also employ tamper-reaction technology in their firmware. The Crypto chip defends itself against power analysis, temperature, and probing attacks. It will self-destruct by erasing the data and keys when it detects any of these types of attacks.

Team with proven records

The DigitaID Key was invented in 2009 by Yash and Saurabh, renowned Indian IT-innovators. In 2009, Red Force Labs was founded to bring the technology to the market.

The company is funded and owned by team and board members, including Department of IT, India, Internet security and sales professionals with proven track records of building successful IT-businesses. The team is based in Bangalore, India

Trusted Update Mechanism

A unique capability of DigitaID Key devices among secure USB drives is their ability to be updated in the field. This allows drives to receive software patches and feature updates without having to return the drive to administrator. DigitaID Key assures the drive update process stays secure and prevents malware from exploiting the update mechanism by authenticating signatures on the update image to guarantee the update comes from RFL.

Protection from untrusted hosts

Occasionally, you may need to use your RFL Key drive on a host computer that you cannot say for sure is a trusted computer. For example, you may not know if it has up–to–date anti–virus software.

RFL Key devices also self–defend against other malware and virus threats by providing an option to open the drive in Read–Only mode. This will ensure that a virus cannot infect your DigitaID Key by modifying your files or writing new files to the drive.

Sealed and Tamper-Resistant’s

Self-defending RFL Keys devices are designed to protect themselves from physical attacks—even by a determined and sophisticated hacker
