Customer Authentication: How it works
authentication while eliminating redundant administration and maintaining centralized 
administration of user profiles. 
When the ActivIdentity 4TRESS AAA Server for Remote Access is deployed with 
the ActivIdentity ActivClient
 security software, organizations can use smart cards 
for both strong authentication to the corporate network and physical access to 
corporate facilities. The ActivIdentity ActivID
 Card Management System adds a critical 
management layer for large smart card deployments. It supports post-issuance of 
smart card applications and credentials, self-service operations for users, and a robust 
set of administration capabilities (including suspension and revocation).
ActivIdentity 4TRESS Authentication Server
The ActivIdentity 4TRESS Authentication Server allows customer-facing organizations 
and medium to large enterprises to use a consistent authentication model across all 
user channels. Deployable as a software install or an appliance, the solution is designed 
to maximize authentication versatility, accommodate multiple business units, and scale 
from thousands to millions of users. The platform segregates data and administration 
control so that large organizations can leverage the same instance across business 
lines, and service providers can use the platform to add authentication services in a 
multi-tenant environment.
The ActivIdentity 4TRESS Authentication Server supports a layered approach that 
enables organizations to tailor the authentication method (e.g., static password, 
knowledge-based data, OTP, or PKI) and authenticator (e.g., hardware token, soft 
token, or smart card) to specific user groups and risk levels. By providing an open and 
extensible framework to add new authentication methods and credential types, the 
ActivIdentity 4TRESS Authentication Server lets organizations respond quickly to  
new online attacks, evolving business requirements, and changing user needs.
