CRYPTO-MAS is a managed service that provides positive identification of network users for companies that do not have the desire or resources to manage it themselves. CRYPTO-MAS customers receive a strong positive identification solution without requiring the expertise or extra costs associated with implementing and managing a solution and the associated infrastructure. CRYPTOCard is the only two-factor authentication developer to offer this managed solution.

Easy to Implement
CRYPTO-MAS requires no additional investment in infrastructure, nor does it require your employees to learn additional technical skills. Once registered to MAS, you can be up and running with a secure, reliable, strong authentication mechanism in a matter of hours.
Low Up-front Costs
Because you are not purchasing any software or servers to implement your authentication solution, your up-front costs are significantly reduced. CRYPTOCard offers the CRYPTOMAS service for an annual user-based service fee, which means it can be funded out of operating expenses rather than capital expenses. This provides predictability in your expenditures and scalability as you grow.
High level of Service
CRYPTOCard’s Service Level Agreement provides you with the protection of a high level of service, without the requirement of staffing a help desk with technically sophisticated employees. The Service Desk is available to provide advice, answers, and assistance in planning, implementing, and managing your CRYPTOCard authentication service.
CRYPTO-MAS is hosted in a Class A data center with high availability and redundancy, at no extra cost to you. To duplicate this level of service with an in-house solution could be very costly.
CRYPTO-MAP
CRYPTOCard’s Managed Authentication Portal (CRYPTO-MAP) provides a secure, easy-to-use interface for provisioning users, assigning tokens and other administrative tasks. from this user-friendly interface you can manage users and tokens yourself without having to contact CRYPTOCard.
Multiple AuthNodes
CRYPTOCard’s authentication service is activated by pointing your authentication node (AuthNode) at the CRYPTO-MAS Server for servicing authentication requests. CRYPTO-Server supports a wide range of AuthNodes, including VPN concentrators, SSL VPNs, Firewalls and IIS and Apache websites.
