TriCipher Authentication Gateway (TAG)

As an integral part of the TriCipher Armored Credential System (TACS), The TriCipher Authentication Gateway (TAG) acts as a services layer for web applications. The TAG reduces the time to deploy strong authentication, increases authentication performance, and ensures the security of the login process by providing a single standardized strong authentication service for use by every application within an organization. The TAG manages the authentication for every level of the TriCipher Authentication Ladder™ including passwords, browser cookies/certifications, PCs, portable devices, tokens, smart cards and biometrics to provide a unified authentication infrastructure. When a user logs into any web application, they are handed off to the TAG to manage the entire authentication process and verify the credentials of each user with the ID Vault. Once authenticated through the ID Vault, the TAG delivers the authentication results to the web application so that the user is given the appropriate level of access.
