Protecting Your Windows Workstation

The Windows Credential Provider API ensures system security, allowing only authorized users to access valuable resources. As the digital landscape expands, so do the security threats. Many businesses, especially those relying on contractors, are susceptible to Advanced Persistent Threats (APTs) and hardware keyloggers. Industries handling payment card information and GDPR-sensitive data often legally require two-factor authentication (2FA) for Windows logins. However, the perception of 2FA as cumbersome leads some enterprises to risk data breaches and legal consequences.

Existing security solutions, often centered around smart cards, have encountered slow adoption due to technical and trust issues. Moreover, the complexities of integrating with established Public Key Infrastructures (PKI) or using specific smart cards, such as those complying with HSPD-12 or European directive 1999/93/EC, can be overwhelming.

Challenging this notion, it simplifies the adoption of a Windows Logon Token. Whether you have a basic USB memory stick, an advanced X.509 PKI smartcard, an Android phone, a versatile Authenticator App, or a standard NFC/Mifare/Desfire Contactless Card, its innovative solution is poised to revolutionize your security landscape.

Taking a giant leap forward, it now leads the way in accepting OpenID Connect Identity Tokens issued by mobile devices. You can access your Windows system using your mobile device for convenience and security.

Access Windows Using NFC Card or NFC-Capable Mobile Device

You'll need a compatible NFC card like MIFARE or DESFIRE to enable NFC logon to Windows. Additionally, it supports various other card types, including company badges, student cards, bus tickets, credit cards, physical access cards, and hotel cards.

If you don't have a supported contactless card, download the "CodeB Authenticator" app on your mobile device, which will act as an NFC token. A simple tap with your NFC token will initiate the logon process if your token is linked to the system's default PIN (set in the registry with a default value of 0000).

System Requirements

• Operating System: Windows 10/11
• NFC Hardware: A compatible NFC card (e.g., MIFARE or DESFIRE) or an NFC-capable mobile device.
• CodeB Authenticator: For mobile device authentication.
• Default PIN: Ensure the system's default PIN is set in the registry with the default value of 0000.
