SafeNet Authentication Client

SafeNet Authentication Client program is an official utility that allows you to work with eToken cards. The utility is responsible for installing the necessary drivers, as well as for verifying the security code. SafeNet Authentication Client is a utility without which it is simply not possible to work with eToken cards. Such cards are most often used in large enterprises. Thanks to their help, it is possible to create an additional level of work. The system works in such a way that to work with files on the card requires a physical connection of the card to the computer. This is done through a USB port. A special code is stored on the card, and when read, the PC gives access to the files. It is the SafeNet Authentication Client program that works with eToken card keys. It reads them, and determines the authenticity of the code. But this utility also performs some other functions. For example, it configures smart cards. The program will also install the necessary programs so that the computer can see the card.

Functionality

After installing the program, the user will be able to log into it. After entering the program, on the main menu you can see all smart cards that are connected to the computer. You can not only view them, but also change their settings. You can assign a new name to the card, change its password and erase all its contents. Even its digital key can be deleted. The program can also provide the user with all technical information. It is also possible to disable the virtual machine, which is called SafeNet eToken virtual. And in the latest updates, through the application will be able to import and export digital certificates. It is worth noting that when installing the program must necessarily allow the installation of additional drivers. They are necessary for operation, because without them the computer will simply not see the smart card. It will be displayed in the Device Manager, but it will be labeled "unknown device".
