Dekart Logon - is a software program designed to add the strong authentication and convenience to the standard Windows logon procedure. It allows to access Windows driven computers and domains in an easy, fast and secure way by using different types of hardware keys. The login and password of the user are entered automatically once the hardware key is connected to the computer. Users gain the flexibility to select from different smart cards, hardware tokens, as well as USB flash drives and other types of removable media to provide fast and convenient two- or three-factor authentication within their Windows environment.
Dekart Logon - how it works?
The user connects his hardware key to his computer (or to any workstation in the domain) and is then prompted for a PIN code. If an invalid PIN is entered more than 3 times, the hardware key is blocked.
After successfully entering the correct PIN (and, optionally, providing his biometric data), the user is logged into the computer (or domain) and have access to his Windows resources without having to type in his username or password.
Whenever the user temporarily leaves the computer, he can temporarily lock the computer by simply disconnecting the hardware key.
Dekart Logon can be also set up to grant access to system resources without the need for a hardware component. A user can login to the Windows environment simply by entering their username and password.

Microsoft Windows 95/98/ME/NT/2000/XP local workstation
