IT security software publisher OpenTrust has signed a contract with a global corporate and investment banking services provider to implement an all-in-one solution for one user to log on to multiple stations.

The project involved equipping all users with a smartcard to guarantee strong authentication to all financial terminals and applications. 15,000 smartcards are to be issued.

This merchant arm of a major financial institution, whose identity has not as yet been disclosed, provides financing, advisory and capital markets services. OpenTrust provides PKI and SCM solutions which integrate seamlessly integrated with partner services to allow the traders to simultaneously work on multiple financial terminals. The Multiple Workstation Login (MWL) and Single Sign-On (SSO) capabilities embedded in the smartcard allow traders to log in on all their workstations and subsequent applications.

All functionality is combined in a single smart card, used for physical and logical access, which is entirely managed by OpenTrust solution.
