CryptoCard Software Token
These
are specific instructions pertaining to ST-1 tokens and
are considered an addendum to the CRYPTOCard
Token User Guide… consult the Guide for complete
token usage instructions.
First
Use of ST-1 Software Token
Please
READ Installation/Initialization/New Pin Entry instructions
corresponding to
the operating system you wish to install your ST-1 on.
Close the instruction window when done and return to
First Time
Use of Token section of the CRYPTOCard User Guide for further
instruction.
Note: 'Initial PIN' and 'Default PIN' as referred to in these documents are considered one in the same.
Known Problems: Newer operating systems have been known to experience problems with the software token
installation files, relative to the Java JRE version built in to the installation files. Refer to the following
instructions for information relative to your particular operating system.
Display Options of ST-1 Tokens
GUI Interface of the ST-1 Version 5.16 token (or
greater)
ST1's V.5.16 or greater do not offer a choice of display
options, but instead present passwords to the user in a
standard GUI interface. It is important to note that
V.5.16 ST-1s DO NOT display CHALLENGES to the user on the
token display. However, the user still does have the
option to RESYNC the V.5.16 token by selecting
"OPTIONS/RESYNCHRONIZE".
Display Options on older ST-1 tokens (prior to Version 5.16)
Older versions of ST-1 tokens have two different interfaces, or "looks". The
"RB-1 emulation interface" requires you to enter data
with a keypad that resembles a calculator and which happens to
look exactly like the RB-1 hardware version of the token.
The "graphical user interface" prompts you to
enter data in a series of pop-up boxes.
You choose which interface to use; both offer the same
level of security.
For
simplicity’s sake, all instructions in the
CryptoCard
Token User Guide are directed at the use of the "RB-1
emulation interface" option. If the token user has set the ST-1
display option to “Graphical User Interface” the interface with the ST-1
token is visually different but the same general concepts in the
instructions apply. If anything, “Graphical User Interface” is very basic…
the only options are:
- Turning
it "On"
- Entering
the PIN
(selecting "Change PIN" button if you need to
change current PIN)
- Seeing
the current challenge ( ST-1 version 5.0 only )
& response
(selecting "Re-Synch" button if you need to
alter the token’s current challenge)
- Turning
if ‘Off’ when done, allowing you to start process
over again.
To change the ST-1 display interface...
- Select
"Options" menu on the ST-1 token
- Click
"Display Interface"
- Select
desired interface
