Databases and Files

General concept for Digipass Family hardware token usage

(Fig 1a) The first step is the tokens are initialized with their unique set of secrets and keys per

token. These secrets are stored in an encrypted way on a diskette which is sent to the

application owner (e.g. the security department of a bank or the IT manager in a company).

These floppies are a way of safely transporting the Digipass secrets to the host computer. The

files on the floppy disks will be used to read all the necessary secrets and other data from the

Digipasses that were delivered into a database.
