Since Swivel began, we’ve been innovators in image-based, tokenless authentication via web browsers – all designed to protect web pages, Outlook Web Access (OWA) and SSL VPNs. We have three such products: all of which enable a simple and seamless integration with these technologies; all of which provide an effective alternative (or addition) to traditional, vulnerable username & password authentication.

As a user never actually has to enter their PIN, the process is never open to keyboard-logging hacks. The system is designed to withstand a range of attacks and therefore varies using a range of fonts, backgrounds, animation and a combination of alphanumeric security strings.

TURing

A TURing image is a security string represented as an image. The image has placeholders to help the user extract the One Time Code. So in the example below, a PIN of 4359 would produce a One Time Code of 1268.

PATtern

The PATtern allows the user to remember their PIN as a pattern or shape. So in the example below, a V shape would require the user to enter 43615 as their One Time Code.

BUTton

The BUTton is similar to pattern, only it is modelled on a telephone keypad, so the user would enter the numbers that correspond to the buttons that represent the digits of their PIN. So in the example below, a PIN of 4582 would give OTC of 4753.

PINpad

PINpad presents the user with a scrambled keypad. The user enters their PIN by clicking the buttons on the PINpad. As the PINpad is a grid of images the PIN cannot be keylogged and as the keypad is scrambled differently for every authentication the user clicks in different positions everytime they authenticate

Our authentication platform allows web access to a wide variety of applications including VPN, web, cloud and desktop.
