How it's managed
Mideye from the administrator's perspective
Mideye can be implemented to protect virtually any remote access
service that requires strong two-factor authentication.
Examples include:
- Remote access to corporate LANs
- Extranet services
- Internet banking
- Access to Wireless LANs
- E-business services
- E-government services
To implement Mideye, the service provider (e.g. enterprise, bank, or
government authority) installs a Mideye Server in a protected environment
within the internal network. The server is integrated with access products
such as firewalls, VPN servers, and web servers via standard interfaces and
APIs.
No Integration
Since the Mideye Server is a RADIUS server, no integration is needed for
most RAS (remote access solutions) products. An easy API is also available
for building strong authentication into customized web applications.
No Administration
Since the Mideye Server authenticates using the user's mobile phone and not a
hardware token, there is no hardware administration. No OTP tokens to manage, send
out or loose. And since the Mideye Server is integrated to LDAP, there is no extra
user administration. The connection to GSM networks is provided through a
secure Internet connection to a centrally operated Mideye Switch.
No Upfront Investment
Since Mideye is a service, there is no upfront investment and a very low cost
of ownership.
