Introduction

SafeTok is an online multi-factor authentication system, designed specifically for the Web.

In simple terms, it allows website users to protect their accounts from all known cyber-attacks.

SafeTok was designed to provide maximum security, yet to be convenient and available for everyone.

We will first explain SafeTok multi-factor authentication and then compare the two protection options.

Device authentication (2nd factor)

In the SafeTok system, every user chooses a device, which protects access to his or her account.

Nobody without this security device can log-in to the user's account. This device will act just like a key to the account - all the user has to do to enter the account is to connect it to the computer.

One device can protect accounts on multiple websites, so you do not need a whole bundle of devices.

The whole authentication process is completely automated - there is no need for the user to type any sort of authentication codes. In the background, innovative SafeTok authentication technologies (such as automatic Phishing and Man-In-The-Middle detection) protect users from all known cyber-attacks. Users do not need to worry anymore about clicking on links in e-mails or try to verify SSL certificates.

As long as you don't give away your device and your password to someone else, your account is safe.

Fingerprint verification (3rd factor)

SafeTok allows users to additionally protect their accounts with fingerprints.

Fingerprints is the most secure and reliable type of personal biometrics available.

To login, you just swipe a finger over the fingerprint sensor - as simple as that.

The fingerprints will be verified and only the true owner will get access.

Of course, in order to verify fingerprints a fingerprint reader is required. The most convenient option in practice is to use a biometric USB stick with a built-in fingerprint sensor.

The SafeTok biometric USB stick will allow you to:

store your personal files without fingerprint protection, like on a usual USB stick
store your confidential personal files in the protected area under your fingerprint protection

have SafeTok software pre-installed for you (no need to download it)
but most importantly: this small, convenient, elegant and robust device will enable you to protect your website accounts with your fingerprints (of course, only if you wish to do so).

SafeTok, the way which suits you best: extra convenience vs. extra security

We offer SafeTok in two versions - with and without biometrics. Each has its unique advantages - choose the one which suits you best.

The first variant is called SafeTok Express, providing 2-factor authentication using a security device.

The main advantage of SafeTok Express is that you do not need to get any special security device.

Virtually any gadget that can be connected to a computer can be used as a SafeTok security device.

This means that you can set it up instantly, and use one of the devices you carry every day with you:

USB sticks, memory cards, MP3 players, mobile phones, etc. Although fast, simple and convenient, SafeTok Express already provides more security than other existing authentication systems on the web.

An even more secure alternative is SafeTok Biometric - providing 3-factor authentication using a biometric security device. It is the most secure protection of the user accounts on the Internet existing today, because even if both user's password and user's device are stolen, the account is still protected.

The important difference between SafeTok Biometric and SafeTok Express is that SafeTok Biometric requires a USB stick with an integrated fingerprint reader, like a SafeTok biometric USB stick.

Below is a side-by-side comparison of the two options, highlighting the unique features, important differences and most common applications:
