Authentication Solutions
Thales operates a dedicated division specializing in the development of authentication solutions. The division offers a broad range of technologies designed to strengthen user authentication across various systems by incorporating physical authentication factors, adding an additional security layer through Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA).
In addition to dedicated hardware components (such as tokens and smart cards), Thales authentication solutions include a centralized management interface for identities and access permissions.
SmartCard
A secure digital identification device, similar to a credit card, containing an embedded electronic chip that enables digital authentication and electronic signing.
eToken
A physical security device used for user identification and authentication when accessing systems. The device includes an embedded electronic chip that enables digital authentication and electronic signing.
FIDO
FIDO (Fast Identity Online) is an authentication protocol designed to eliminate the use of passwords in user authentication processes. Password management presents a significant security risk, as passwords are often vulnerable to compromise.
Thales solutions provide full support for the FIDO standard.
