Two-Factor Authentication; Inserting The Smart Card - Digittrade HS128 User Manual

Two-Factor Authentication

The DIGITTRADE HIGH SECURITY HDD functions with a two-factor
authentication process to avoid unauthorized access to the HDD and data
stored on it.
With this process the authorization of the user will be verified to exclude
misuse. The verfication works with two factors according to the "Having
and Knowing Method":
Factor 1 (Having): verifies if the user has a Smart Card with the correct
AES key. This verfication takes place by inserting the Smart Card into the
HDD enclosure. Two Smart Cards are included in delivery.
Factor 2 (Knowing): verifies if the user knows the correct 8-digit PIN and
consequently is authorized to use this Smart Card. This verfication takes
place by the PIN entry. After activating the DIGITTRADE HIGH SECURITY
HDD successfully it needs to be unblocked for use.

Inserting the Smart Card

Therefore insert the Smart Card into the Smart Card Slot in direction of
arrow.
If a valid Smart Card is inserted, the "STATUS" flashes once. Afterwards
the keypad is lighted and ready for PIN entry.
If an invalid Smart Card is inserted the "ERROR" LED flashes.
