SAFEMLS® supports many different types of authenticators. Illustrated below are some of the different choices that, singly or in combination, create the best solution for the real estate industry.
TEXT-pass®
With TEXT-pass, one-time use passwords are delivered to the end-user’s mobile phone as a SMS text message. There is no special device, download or software required to use TEXT-pass, making it a true zero-footprint solution. Once a user is enrolled in TEXT-pass, they can send a text message to Clareity Security and within seconds, a single use password will be delivered to them in response. Any cellular phone or smartphone that supports SMS messaging is TEXT-pass ready! More information
Alpine Token
The Alpine token combines a sleek new compact design with the added feature of a sturdy clip for convenient attachment. The token offers numeric display, can be time or event based, and is OATH standard compliant. Best of all – it has a lifetime warranty!
GE Security / Supra keys
SAFEMLS is integrated with the GE Security / Supra electronic keybox system so lockbox users can use the Supra eKEY, ActiveKEY or DisplayKEY to obtain one-time passwords for MLS access. Not every real estate professional has a lockbox key, and those that have lockbox keys don't always carry them everywhere they want to access the MLS, but some GE Security lockbox users may wish to use their existing lockbox keys as a SAFEMLS authenticator.
MobilePass®
MobilePass® is a software-based two-factor authentication solution that generates one-time passcodes right on your favorite mobile phone or laptop/desktop PC. The product works on a wide range of mobile phone platforms, including BlackBerry, Palm, Windows Mobile, and J2ME-enabled devices and is also available for Windows Desktops, where one-time passcodes are generated right on your laptop or desktop PC. MobilePass is completely integrated with SAFEMLS and leverages the same trusted authentication platform as our hardware token-based solutions.
SofToken™
SofToken is for users who need the security of one-time passwords but can not use a hardware token. SofToken generates a dynamic password just as the handheld tokens do, but the SofToken software resides on the hard drive of the user's laptop or desktop system and includes security so it can not be copied from system to system.
Digital certificates, USB tokens, smart cards, and PKI user authentication
SAFEMLS also has embedded support for PKI user authentication, including digital certificates, smart cards and USB devices. SAFEMLS can issue standards-based X.509 digital certificates or authenticate certificates from most major PKI vendors. A wide variety of smart cards and USB tokens are supported. SAFEMLS provisions certificates using the protection of two-factor authentication.
USB Device
SAFEMLS supports a USB solution called the iKey. Note that there's nowhere to plug in a USB token on most mobile devices for remote MLS access or on many computers at coffee shops, business centers and other places agents work. So, the iKey is not recommended for most users.
Biometrics
Fingerprint scanners, signature readers, and other biometric devices promise the next wave of authentication technology. SAFEMLS supports a wide variety of biometric systems, including solutions from Sony, NTT, and DigitalPersona.
