With eToken PRO Anywhere, organizations can enable secure access to online digital information while delivering simplicity for their users that has never before been available in certificate-based solution."
eToken PRO Anywhere combines the full functionality of a smartcard-based authentication device, including on-board credentials and digital signature capabilities, with the plug-and-play portability of a One-Time-Password authenticator. eToken PRO Anywhere devices require no maintenance and never expire.
