How to use Swissbit iShield Key
Product Description
Key Features iShield Pro:
- Compatibility: Works with FIDO2 and U2F compatible websites and services, such as Google, Microsoft, Salesforce, Amazon Web Services, etc.
- Security: public and private key cryptography
- Advanced Security: HOTP (Event), TOTP (time-based), Smartcard (PIV-compatible), OpenSC-compatible
- Durable: fully molded, robust and water resistant housing

- HOTP Support: Hash-based one time password (HOTP) is event-based and a combination of private key & counter-based one-time password, which secures two-factor authentication (2FA) for web services that do not support WebAuthn. Moreover, HOTP can be applied in situations when users do not have Internet connectivity, such as offline application scenarios.
- TOTP Support: Time-based one-time password (TOTP) stands for Time-based One-Time Passwords and is a common form of two factor authentication (2FA). Unique numeric passwords are generated with a standardized algorithm that uses the current time as an input.
- PIV Suport: Personal Identity Verification (PIV) allows the iShield Key Pro to store personal credentials for a given individual for storing digital certificates and private keys securely and for storing security keys for device identification, authentication and registration using PKCS#11 cryptographic standard. PIV enables iShield Key Pro to be used for Windows logon (for local accounts or through Microsoft Active Directory), even when drive encryption with BitLocker is also enabled.
