What’s New In Version 3

The AIR ID software together with the pcProx reader represents a system is greatly expanded with the release of Version 3.

Windows 9X Security Layer

The release of the Windows 95/98 security layer brings NT style security the Windows 95/98 environments. Previously users could simply press the ESC key and gain access to a desktop computer running under the Windows 95/98 operating system. Using the

HID Corp.

7 Understanding Wireless Identification

AIR ID Windows 9x security layer, users are now required to logon using either a manual password, their proximity card, or both.

Auto-Enrollment

New software features include the ability to automatically enroll users already established in a Windows 9x/NT client or Windows NT server. Once the software is installed and the machine is rebooted, an authorized user correctly entering their credentials with their proximity card on the reader will be automatically enrolled. This greatly reduces costs associated with the deployment of the AIR ID system.

Common Logon Account

This feature greatly aids environments where several users share a desktop and these users all run the same applications throughout the day.

Users can now share a single logon account while maintaining their individual identity. This mode provides a single account used for logon, however the AIR ID audit log will keep track of the individual user at the desktop with a date/time stamp. The features increases productivity since there is no need to re-logon and re-load applications each time a different user needs to access the desktop applications.

Admin Badge Override

The "admin" user may now be assigned a Badge ID to provide override capability for access to Locked Workstations. The security layers will now scan for users of the workstation as well as the "admin" user. The ADMIN user is not considered until there is at least one other user assigned to the machine. The ADMIN user is considered part of the Common Logon set of users when the Common Logon feature is enabled.

Understanding Wireless Identification

What is AIR ID® Proximity Activated Identification?

AIR ID (software) together with a proximity reader makes up a proximity activated access control system that tells the PC when the authorized user is present. Unlike password systems, biometrics readers, and smart cards , this system uses the user’s

AIR ID

Understanding Wireless Identification 8

proximity cards, giving the PC the ability to detect when the user has left the area with their card. Once removed, the PC is automatically locked. When the user returns, the authenticating information is exchanged between the pcProx Base Unit attached to the PC and the proximity ID card. The result is a complete lock and reactivation of access to the PC!

Why is it necessary?

With the proliferation of PC’s, cash machines, security systems, and electronic locks, users are increasingly burdened with the requirement of entering passwords and PINs (person identification numbers) to gain access to these protected systems. The AIR ID system (pcProx reader and AIR ID software) eliminates the burden without compromising privacy or security.

Who can benefit using the System?

AIR ID is necessary for PC users who have access to sensitive files or those who simply want the convenience of automatic login and walk-away security. Employees using Win95/98/NT operating systems will benefit with AIR ID. It eliminates the problems of manual interaction-based security, increases efficiency, compliance, and may also prevent security breaches.

Below are some examples of environments that will find AIR ID useful:

Medical - Hospitals and medical centers where nurses, doctors, and administrative personnel need quick and secure access to patient records without the burden of constant login and logout functions. Financial - Trading floors, banks, insurance companies and other financial institutions working with sensitive information, and performing financial transactions, that should not be viewed by unauthorized users. These users also benefit from AIR ID’s audit log. Corporate - HR, MIS, payroll, tax departments, company executives, secretaries, sales personnel, etc. Departments responsible for their own company sensitive data who are concerned of inadvertently releasing information to other company employees through unattended logged in systems. By using AIR ID the user can comply without extra effort. Government - Employees and government contractors who have confidential information that should be secured at both their desktops as well as at the network level. These Government
