SafeNet eToken 5300 series

PKI-based multi-factor authenticators

In today’s world of on-the-move workforces and mobility, enterprise IT needs to carefully balance security with convenience. Organisations are long-past feeling comfortable with simple user name and passwords being the only protection keeping unwanted intruders from gaining access to networks and identities. That is why more and more businesses depend on Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) to provide the strong security to maintain a safe digital environment.

Ultra-secure MFA — portable form factors

SafeNet eToken 5300 series is an ideal solution for enterprises looking to deploy the military-grade security of PKI, while maintaining a convenient solution for employees. These tokens offer a compact, tamper-evident USB with presence detection, which creates a third factor of authentication. Something you have (physical token), something you know (PIN), something you do (touching the token). SafeNet eToken 5300 series provides two tokens with a state-of-the-art new design and durable plastic.

SafeNet eToken 5300 is offered in two sizes:

• The Mini has a new design, with extensive landscape for custom logos or company name.
• The Micro is the smallest USB form factor in the industry and is perfect for users who want to leave the token continuously plugged to the port (similar to a USB RF dongle).

SafeNet eToken 5300-C is offered in one size:

This new token is the first flavour of eTokens which supports USB-C connector. SafeNet eToken 5300-C is based on a new design language and enables landscape for custom logos or company name.

The SafeNet eToken 5300 series offers multi-application dynamic smart card functionality. It can be used with any USB connection for Identity and Access Management applications such as network authentication, digital signatures, email encryption and other advanced services based on Public Key Infrastructure (PKI).

SafeNet eToken 5300 is FIPS 140-2 (mini is level 3 and micro is level 2) certified and holds Common Criteria EAL 6+ certification at the chip boundary.

SafeNet eToken 5300-C holds FIPS 140-2 level 3 (SC chip and OS) and Common Criteria EAL 6+ certification at the chip boundary.

Multiple-purpose single touch

The SafeNet eToken 5300 series is perfect for enterprises that are serious about security and usability, but want to provide employees with an easy-to-use-and frictionless solution – without multiple PIN entries or bulky form factors. With the Presence Detection feature, enterprise IT can allow easier user experience for employees by requiring user PIN only at logon. That way, employees can use the advanced functionality of PKI, such as digitally signing documents and encrypting email by simply touching the sensor on the token.

In this way, employees can use the advanced functionality of PKI, such as digitally signing documents and encrypting email by simply touching the sensor on the token, saving the user from having to enter a PIN multiple times.
