Proteg 3.1

Proteg is a software solution that secures the computers by preventing unauthorized access. It fortifies the existing Windows login mechanism by binding the user account to a portable USB storage device (USB key, USB flash drive, thumdrive). Adopting two-factor authentication scheme, a Proteg-enabled system requires the user to present a physical hardware and provide the correct password to gain legitimate access to the system.
