Tokens, electronic keys for access to important information, are becoming increasingly popular in Russia. A token is now not only a means of authentication in operating system computer, but also a convenient device for storing and presenting personal information: encryption keys, certificates, licenses, identities. Tokens are more reliable than the standard “login/password” pair due to the two-factor identification mechanism: that is, the user must not only have a storage medium (the token itself), but also know the PIN code.

There are three main form factors in which tokens are issued: USB token, smart card and key fob. PIN code protection is most often found in USB tokens, although recent models of USB tokens are available with the ability to install an RFID tag and with an LCD display for generating one-time passwords.

Let’s take a closer look at the principles of operation of tokens with a PIN code. PIN code is special given password, which splits the authentication procedure into two stages: attaching a token to the computer and entering the PIN code itself.

The most popular token models on the modern Russian electronic market are Rutoken, eToken from the Aladdin company, and an electronic key from the Aktiv company. Let's look at the most frequently asked questions regarding PIN codes for tokens using the example of tokens from these manufacturers.

1. What is the default PIN?

The table below provides information about the default PIN codes for Rutoken and eToken tokens. The default password is different for different owner levels.

2. Do I need to change the default PIN? If yes, then at what point in working with the token?

3. What should I do if the PIN codes on the token are unknown and the default PIN code has already been reset?

The only way out is to completely clear (format) the token.

4. What should I do if the user's PIN is blocked?

You can unlock the user's PIN through the token control panel. To perform this operation, you must know the administrator PIN.

5. What should I do if the administrator PIN is blocked?

The administrator PIN cannot be unlocked. The only way out is to completely clear (format) the token.

6. What security measures have manufacturers taken to reduce the risk of password guessing?

The main points of the security policy for PIN codes of USB tokens of the Aladdin and Aktiv companies are presented in the table below. After analyzing the table data, we can conclude that eToken will presumably have a more secure PIN code. Rutoken, although it allows you to set a password of just one character, which is unsafe, in other respects it is not inferior to the product of the Aladdin company.

The importance of keeping the PIN code secret is known to all those who use tokens for personal purposes and store their electronic signature, trusts electronic key information not only of a personal nature, but also details of their business projects. Tokens of the companies “Aladdin” and “Active” have pre-installed security properties and, together with a certain amount of caution that will be exercised by the user, reduce the risk of password guessing to a minimum.

Rutoken and eToken software products are presented in various configurations and form factors. The offered assortment will allow you to choose exactly the token model that best meets your requirements, be it

Procedure:

You must be logged in with administrator rights. To do this, click Login with rightsami adminstratora, as shown in the screenshot. Enter the password from the revocation card (if the password is not suitable, in this case the password for the previously recorded key was saved on the media).

Attention! Under no circumstances should you be blocked as an administrator. In this case it will happen complete blocking devices without the ability to recover the key! If you do not know the password, contact technical support for advice.

3. Then set the user password. To do this, click Set user password. Enter the same password.

After setting the user password, the number of attempts will be 15 – the eToken is unlocked.

Hello everyone, today I will remind you what the password is for eToken and Rutoken. They seem simple, but sometimes I forget them. We will also look at how Rutoken differs from eToken, since not everyone knows this, but this knowledge is very, very useful. I will also tell you how, if necessary, you can change this password.

The first thing you need to explain is what eToken and Rutoken are > these are special flash media whose task is to securely store a signing or encryption certificate ( private key), which is equivalent to a person’s paper signature and the whole thing is password protected. Manufacturers issue tokens with a standard password already set:

The difference between etoken and rutoken

And so, we found out what this whole thing is used for, now let’s talk about the difference between etoken and rutoken. Firstly, rutoken is red, and etoken is red. Secondly, they have different amounts of memory:

• Rutoken memory capacity varies from 32 kb to 126 kb
• Etoken has a maximum volume of 72Kb, where the user can only use 47Kb

I would like to note right away that in CryptoPRO both media work the same

Summary table of differences between etoken and rutoken

Etoken default password

I would like to note that if you received a token from some certification center, then with a hundred percent probability its password has been changed and you need to check it with technical support, which generated it. Please note that if you enter the wrong combination a certain number of times, the token may be blocked.

These codes are also called pin codes, so don’t be surprised if you hear the phrase root pin by default, techies have their own language.

1. for eToken – 1234567890
2. for Rutoken and Rutoken EDS:
