Technical Bulletins - Authentication 101

Token - Soft Token
Soft tokens refer to intangible software-based "tokens", which are theoretically similar to single sign-on passwords, but offer the deployment advantages of a software application. This technology solves the problem of providing a common installation and user interface across a wide range of platforms, operating systems and application environments. Token initialization binds the token to the user, generating correct one-time passwords unique to the user for each logon. Soft tokens are revocable at any time without recovery, making them ideal for large user populations and external consultants requiring temporary network access. Once revoked, they can be completely re-initialized and deployed to new users as required.
