Benefits
Use of the Mandylion solution provides three
benefits:
User and Administrator Convenience.
Currently, passwords are an inconvenience and a
burden for the average computer user. Policy is
clear; compliance is difficult. The Mandylion token
empowers the user to comply with IA access control
policy not through enforcement, but through
convenience. Empowering the user to comply with
strong password policy helps promulgate the IA
message vs. defeat or erode it with "human" work
arounds.
For the network administrator, it is the only
solution which professionally and securely manages
root passwords and logins under shared control.
Information Assurance. Poorly
constructed passwords that are not well managed
are an inherent weakness and significant
vulnerability to the information Assurance
infrastructure. Regardless of the encrypted
transmission techniques employed in its transport,
the captured cipher text of a cryptographically
weak password is easily discerned and obtained
through a brute force attack.

Cost Savings. Password reset costs are a
significant portion of the help desk budget. The
Mandylion token empowers the user to literally and
securely keep these codes at their fingertips.

Easy Implementation. Works instantly
with all standard user login methods. Because it's
standalone apparatus, you can independently use
with any Web site or host. Hosts and Web sites
seeking enhanced access control can easily
incorporate it into their existing login methods.
Instantly Creates Strong Security Policy.
In work environments, distribution and surrender
of units can be integrated with personnel
procedure to ensure that access is being properly
authorized and further, being properly terminated
on timely basis.
