BSec Middleware

Borderless Security PKI (BSec PKI) is the middleware for iKey USB devices  and smart cards  from SafeNet. The BSec middleware allows organizations to easily use smart cards and USB authenticators for implementing two factor authentication to a wide variety of desktop, enterprise network and productivity applications. The BSec enables storage, management and usage of PKI credentials (digital certificates and private-public keys) and non PKI credentials (usernames and passwords) on a smart card or USB device for secure authentication to most critical enterprise assets such as those accessed via desktop applications, network login, remote access, web login, e-mail and electronic transactions.

Through an easy to use GUI, BSec PKI allows centralized configuration of client policies and creation of different end user clients for effective use of authenticators and smart cards by enterprise users. For easy mass deployment of BSec clients, it is supported through Microsoft Group Policy Object (GPO) on different Windows OS platforms. The BSec also enables token and smart card usage on other platforms such as MAC OS and Linux.

For integration with applications, the BSec PKI includes a comprehensive API SDK supporting PKCS#11 and MS CAPI interfaces. Applications integrated with BSec can securely enable enterprises to open up their networks for collaboration and data sharing relying on SafeNet tokens and smart cards for strong two factor authentication and cryptographic functions such as digital signing and encryption.
