Understanding
MobilePASS
SafeNet MobilePASS is a software version of a hardware token. MobilePASS
provides users with two additional authentication options: software tokens and
messaging tokens. The software token is an application that generates
passcodes on the desktop and on mobile devices. The messaging token
delivers passcodes via e-mail (SMTP) or text messages (SMS).
MobilePASS provides you with two ways to generate software tokens. You may
use the integrated MobilePASS product, which is included with SafeWord 2008
software 2.1.0.03 and higher versions, and/or you may use the stand-alone
device-specific MobilePASS Factory application product.
The integrated product supports iPhone/iPod touch, newer BlackBerry, J2ME,
and Android devices, as well as Windows Desktops. The stand-alone product
provides device-specific applications for use with earlier J2ME-enabled
devices, earler BlackBerry device models, specific smart phones, and older
versions of Windows Desktops.
The MobilePASS Portal includes the Enrollment Portal, where users can enroll
their software tokens, and can use the Messaging application. The
MobilePASS Portal can be installed on the same machine as SafeWord, or it
can be installed on another machine in the same network. It is supported on all
Windows operating systems that support the core SafeWord servers.
