Deepnet Unified Authentication Platform (Internet Edition) is a two-way and two-factor authentication solution designed specifically for web applications such as online banking, shopping and gambling etc., without the requirements of new hardware devices. Deepnet Unified Authentication Platform utilizes the devices users already have (computers, mobile phones, PDA etc) or the user’s behavioural biometrics (typing pattern, voiceprint), as the second factor. This eliminates the need to distribute new hardware, making the system cost effective, user friendly and simple to manage.

Deepnet Unified Authentication Platform is designed for simple integration with existing web applications and their customer management systems. The architecture and inter¬faces are designed to minimise modification to the customers’ existing IT infrastructures and application frameworks.

Technical Specification

The authentication platform consists of one or many Web Servers, Deepnet Authentication Servers, SQL Servers and optional Hardware Security Modules (HSM), as illustrated bellow.

These servers can be installed and operating on separated machines or on a single machine, depending on the scale of the customer’s business applications.

Web Server

Deepnet Unified Authentication platform supports all types of popular web servers, including Microsoft Internet Information Server (IIS, ASP, ASP.NET), Java Server Pages (JSP) and Apache Web Server.

Deepnet Authentication Server

Deepnet Authentication Server is a secure, scalable, cross-platform authentication server that centrally controls access to web applications. Deepnet Authentication Server is designed to be deployable across a wide range of commonly available platforms that supports Java. Therefore, it can run on Windows, Linux, Unix, Sun OS and many mainframes.

SQL Server

Deepnet Unified Authentication platform supports a wide range of high- performance SQL database servers, including MS-SQL, Oracle and mySQL.

HSMM

For additional security, the token database can be further protected by employing hardware encryption. Deepnet Unified Authentication supports Hardware Security Module (HSM) including Eracom ProtectServer, nCipher nShield and netHSM. Installation of HSM is optional, as Deepnet Unified Authentication has an in-built Software Security Module (SSM).

Deepnet Unified Authentication Platform supports several authentication methods including mobile phone based one-time password token, device based soft token, virtual smart card and software-only behaviour biometrics.
