Salt mCodeX is a convenient mobile-based "second-factor" authentication (2FA) method used in conjunction with Echidna to provide an out-of-the-box solution for high assurance authentication of remote users connecting to enterprise networks via VPNs, Citrix gateways or other RADIUS aware access points.
Salt mCodeX uses biometric(fingerprint and face-id) authentication to generate One Time Passwords (OTP) and Challenge/Response signature codes that are displayed on the iOS device.
Salt mCodeX provides a robust cryptographically based and standalone solution that does not require ongoing availability of the mobile network.
Salt mCodeX requires registration with Echidna; please contact Salt Group for more information about Echidna.
