The most valuable feature for us is the ability to use Active Directory groups as virtual containers instead of domains because it means that we can control our access groups better.

Protiva is a suite of security tools (hardware and software) that permit you to implement the strong authentication based on OTP (One Time Password), Smart card with digital certificate and Biometric authentication.

The most valuable feature, for me, is the full Microsoft native support and the possibility to integrate the Smart-card Authentication (based on digital certificate) in many authentication mechanisms like Domain log-on, VPN log-on, Custom Application with Secure Digital Key, digital signature, etc. – the integration has been very easy.

The Gemalto Protiva suite is really complete as it has smart card managed software, Secure Digital Key, drivers, smart card reader, smart card, OTP readers etc. If you looking for strong authentication, Gemalto can help you.
