KT-1 Token User Guide – Quick Reference 5


Overview
The KT-1 Key Chain token generates a new, random
“one-time password” each time the token is activated.
Pressing the button located to the right and below the
LCD display activates the token.

Using Your KT-1 the First Time


A PIN is an alphanumeric string of 3 to 8 characters that is used to guard against the unauthorized use of the token.
If PIN protection is enabled, the user must provide a PIN with the one-time password to authenticate. Your initial
PIN is “1234”, and this must be changed to a PIN of your choosing on first use.

Using Your KT-1 to Log In


When prompted for a password, you must append the one-time password displayed by the token to your PIN. For
example, if the the PIN is 4321 and the displayed one-time password is 12345678, the user must enter
432112345678 at the password prompt.

Adjusting LCD Contrast


1. Press and hold the button (approximately 5 seconds) on the token until the prompt “Init” appears. Then release
the button.

2. The token will cycle through a series of prompts: “Init”, “LCD Test”, “Contrast”, “Chg PIN”, “ReSync?”. The
prompts and sequence will vary depending on the options enabled for the token. Press the button while the
“Contrast” prompt is displayed.

3. The token will cycle through a series of prompts in the form of –XX##XX- where ## are digits from 00 to 15
corresponding with lowest to highest contrast. The contrast will change as the digits change providing a visual
indication of the selection. When the desired contrast is displayed, press the button two times to set.

Token Resync
The purpose of this section is to instruct end-users and administrators how to resynchronize tokens using the on-
line CRYPTO-MAS resynchronization tool.

If too many One-time password Codes (OTP’s) have been generated by a token since the last time the server
received a correct OTP, the server will not recognize the OTP and the token and server are said to be “out of sync”.

For CRYPTO-MAS, the number of OTPs that needs to be generated by the token to cause the server and the token to
become out-of-sync is defaulted to 25.

Token Resync Instructions


Step 1:
Open up a browser (IE6, IE7, Mozilla Firefox 1.5+) and
go to: http://resync.cryptocard.com/

The following dialog box will appear (Figure 1.0)

Figure 1.0

Step 2:
Enter the “User ID” and “Authentication ID” (Auth ID) and
click OK.

Contact your MAS Administrator if you don’t know the


“Authentication ID”.

Step 3:
You will be presented with a challenge to be entered into
your token, along with a field to enter your next OTP
(after the resync process has been completed) (Figure
1.1).

Figure 1.1

KT-1 Token User Guide – Quick Reference 7


Entering a Challenge into a KT Token

a) Hold down the button on the KT Token until "Init"


appears in the display then let go of the button.

b) The token will automatically start scrolling through a


menu, and when "Resync" appears, immediately
click the button to stop the menu from scrolling.

c) “Resync” plus a scrolling digit 0-9 will appear in the


display. Press the button to stop the scrolling when
the digit displayed is the first digit (from the left) in
the “challenge” (Figure 1.2).

d) The “Resync” will be replaced by the first digit Figure 1.2


selected, and scrolling for the next digit in the
“challenge” will begin. Follow the same steps to stop
the scolling at the correct digits until the complete 8-
digit “challenge” appears.

e) When the challenge number is correctly


entered/displayed, click the button again and a new
One Time Password (or ‘response’) will be
automatically generated by the token.

Enter your PIN (if normally required) followed by the OTP


displayed on your token into the dialog box and Click
“OK”.

Your token should now be synchronized with the server.

KT-1 Token User Guide – Quick Reference 8


Token PIN Change
A KT Token user can change their Server Side, User
Changeable PIN at any time.

To change the PIN, browse to the User Self-service web


page at: http://auth.cryptocard.com/hardware

You must first authenticate before being presented with


the PIN Change page.

Token PIN Change Instructions


Step 1:
Open up a browser (IE6, IE7, Mozilla Firefox 1.5+) and
go to http://auth.cryptocard.com/hardware. The
following dialog box will appear. (Figure 2.0)

Figure 2.0

Step 2:
Enter the “User ID”, “Authentication ID” (Auth ID) and
your OPT (PIN+Passcode) and click OK.

Contact your MAS Administrator if you don’t know the


“Authentication ID’.

Step 3:
After successful authentication you are redirected to the
PIN Change page where you are required to enter your
current PIN and the new PIN to complete PIN change
process.

The PIN length and complexity reflects the minimum


requirements for this specific token. (Figure 2.1)

Figure 2.1

KT-1 Token User Guide – Quick Reference 9


If the correct Current PIN is entered and the new PIN
meets the complexity requirements of the token a PIN
“Change Success” message is displayed and the new PIN
is now in effect and must be used to authenticate with.
