Secure Identity Management and Authentication Tools for the Military

WHY?
Identity verification solutions that work perfectly for banks or business enterprises do not work on a battlefield where the mere act of getting a card out of your pocket is clumsy at best and impossible at worst. To address the problem of user identification in a harsh military environment, Hideez has developed a universal digital token for identification in digital systems and physical access to premises.
Currently, the military uses the ordinary combination of login and password or plastic smart cards for both physical and digital access. By today's standards, logins and passwords are not secure, and cards are a very inconvenient and rather ancient technology, especially on the battlefield.
Hideez Authentication Service consists of wearable wireless tokens which can provide combatants with secure and easy identification and authentication to access army laptops, tablets, networks, servers, applications, web services, and premises.
HOW?
Hideez hardware security keys combine automated password-based authentication & 2FA with passwordless FIDO authentication technology using modern world standards - NIST, FIPS 140-2, PCI DSS.
Rather than requiring users to insert a card into a reader or manually type in a password, Hideez Key allows computer systems to recognize soldiers when they are near a computer or other protected system. The device prompts the soldiers to enter a second identification factor, such as a personal identification number, and the soldiers log out automatically as they move away from the computer and leave the system's coverage area, the PC is getting locked automatically.
Contactless security tokens are a user-friendly tool that provides significant cost savings for the military. You can advance authentication capabilities without having to redesign or deploy new tactical hardware on every laptop, server, handheld device, or weapon system.
WHAT?
Hideez offers an all-in-one solution that includes secure password management, desktop MFA, passwordless authentication based on biometric logins or QR codes, and many other features. To better understand this, we’ll take a closer look at the four main components of the Hideez Authentication Service. These are:
