sCrib – Secure Password Tokens

网络安全变得越来越重要，数据泄露经常发生在政府、企业和个人层面。密码安全是第一道防线。然而，人们总是忘记密码。目前，许多大型企业和政府部署的密码令牌需要后端基础设施和软件，这导致部署困难且成本高昂。Smart Architects的最初想法是开发一种袖珍设备，以易于使用的形式为消费者和小型企业提供非常强大的密码。主要要求是即插即用，对计算机及其软件没有具体要求，可靠性，容易从丢失中恢复，以及安全性。Smart Architects开发了sCrib，原型正在引起各种细分市场的初步兴趣。sCrib令牌原型的主要功能满足初始要求，并具有额外的功能，如保护免受密钥记录恶意软件的攻击。现在，了解细分市场的需求并利用这一机会至关重要。拥有这样一个易于使用的安全密码令牌可能会大大扰乱消费者和小型企业的数据安全市场。虽然我们已经进行了一些初步的市场测试，但我们认识到我们需要充分了解最具吸引力的细分市场及其用户需求。

Cyber security is becoming increasingly important with data breaches regularly happening at government, corporate and personal levels. Password security is the 1st line of defence. However, individuals are always forgetting passwords. Many of the current password tokens deployed by large corporates and government require back-end infrastructure and software causing difficult and expensive deployment.The initial idea of Smart Architects was to develop a pocketsize device that would provide consumers and small businesses with very strong passwords in an easy to use form. The main requirements were plug-and-play, no specific requirements on computers and their software, reliability, easy recovery from loss, and security.Smart Architects has developed sCrib and the prototype is generating initial interest from a diverse range of market segments. The main features of the sCrib token prototypes meet initial requirements and feature additional functionality like protection from key logging malware. It is now essential to understand the segment requirements and capitalise on the opportunity.Having such an easy to use, secure password token could significantly disrupt the data security market for consumers and small businesses. Whilst we have carried out some initial market testing we recognise we need to full understand the most attractive market segments and their user requirements.
