Password authentication, although commonly used, is easy to break and does not offer the strong authentication required to protect enterprise resources. In response, security-minded enterprises have turned to multi-factor authentication: a combination of something you have (a token or smart card) and something you know (a PIN or password).

Wave Virtual Smart Card 2.0 adheres to this best practice by providing two-factor strong authentication.

With Wave Virtual Smart Card 2.0, the first factor (what you have) is the computer, equipped with an embedded hardware TPM; and the second factor (what you know) is the user PIN.
