Menü-Modus: Authentisierung Und Verwaltung - Digittrade KOBRA STICK User Manual

The KOBRA Stick allows roles and authorisations to be managed with regard to the
administration and operation of the data carrier.
The user knows the user PIN. This PIN enables the user to change the PIN, to log in
to the stick (authentication), to activate or deactivate the write protection function or
to destroy the current encryption keys and generate new ones. The user PIN enables
authentication on the KOBRA Stick and allows access to the stored data.
The administrator knows the Admin-PIN. He/she can change the Admin-PIN, define
the time-out settings and set the number of permitted failed attempts. The administrator
is not authorised or able to access the data stored on the KOBRA Stick.
5. Menü-Modus: Authentisierung und Verwaltung
The authentication and management of the KOBRA Stick is done via the menu mode
by entering numbers and commands. Switching to menu mode is generally carried out
from wait mode by pressing the main key. In menu mode, the main key lights up blue
and all other input keys white.
To execute the commands, the KOBRA Stick usually requires a connection to a PC or
another external power supply (e.g. USB power supply or USB hub). Exceptions to this
are during authentication on the KOBRA Stick, the activation or deactivation of the write
protection as well as the generation of new crypto keys. These functions can also be
performed in battery mode.
In menu mode all inputs and commands should be confirmed with the "√" key.
Alternatively, they can also be cancelled with the "×" key. Each time the "×" key is
pressed, the main key briefly lights up orange and then white. Then the KOBRA Stick
switches to wait mode. The procedure can be repeated from this position.
After starting a menu function, the main key starts flashing green when the user PIN has
to be entered. If the admin PIN is required, the main key flashes purple. All other keys
are active at this moment. If entry is confirmed with the "√" key, the main key lights up
green if the PIN is correct.
If an error occurs, the main key flashes red briefly and then lights up white. Then the
KOBRA Stick switches to wait mode. The procedure can be repeated from this position.
If the PIN entry was incorrect during one of the operations, the main key flashes red
once or several times according to the number of unsuccessful attempts (but not more
than the set number of permitted failed attempts). Then the KOBRA Stick switches to
wait mode. The scheduled process can be restarted from this point.
After each successful execution of a command, the KOBRA Stick returns to wait mode.
