Effective Token Deployment Strategies: Insights from the 2008 PKI Forum

This presentation, delivered by Paul Caskey at the PKI Deployment Forum in 2008, outlines a comprehensive approach to deploying and optimizing token usage in authentication systems. Highlighting a VeriSign Unified Authentication setup integrated with Active Directory, the discussion covers dual-key strategies, certificate management, and the challenges of enrollment processes. Key topics include securing email and document signing, token management, and balancing manual versus automatic enrollment methods. The presentation also addresses user onboarding and the management of lost tokens through an efficient Token Management System.

  1. How to Deploy and Get the Most Out of Tokens Paul Caskey PKI Deployment Forum 2008

  2. Our setup • VeriSign Unified Authentication • Active Directory-integrated • Based on Microsoft CA, but signed by VeriSign public root • Managed via an MMC • CA and all operations happen at VeriSign • Dual-key approach • Signing, SmartCard login • Encryption, EFS (escrowed) • 3 certificate templates • Signing • Encryption • Key Recovery Agent • All certs are on Aladdin tokens only (no software stores)

  3. Our uses • Email signing and encryption • Document Signing • SmartCard login (Our passwords meet LoA2 entropy, but….) • Remote access??

  4. Enrollment Process • User request to Help Desk • Help Desk prepares token (initialize, assign) • Vetting/Verify Identity • Enrollment authorization granted • User enrolls at help desk via kiosk • That first use of token forces setting a password

  5. Design/implementation issues • Manual vs. Auto-enrollment • Dual-key vs. single-key • Token enrollment (in-person or remote) • Client software deployment • PIN resets • Local • Remote • Lost tokens

  6. Aladdin Token Management System (TMS) 2.0 • Web-based management interface • Look up users, tokens • Initialize • Assign • Web-based user self-service • Enrollment/software installation • Security questions • Report lost tokens • Password reset • Web-based remote service • Virtual tokens

  7. Questions/Comments/Discussion?
