Introducing

Power LogOn GOV-COA

Certificate-based Logon for Air-Gapped Windows Workstations

“There is no other commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) product that can do all that Power LogOn COA does.”

– U.S. Air Force Project Manager

Power LogOn GOV-COA secures Windows air-gapped workstations with existing digital certificates on PIV or CAC credentials.

How can Power LogOn GOV-COA help you?

Some Windows workstations can never connect to a network, but users still need certificate logon. Power LogOn GOV-COA brings certificate logon to air-gapped Windows workstations, using the PIV or CAC credential’s existing digital certificate. Power LogOn GOV-COA uses the credential’s existing PIN and never stores it.

Power LogOn makes no changes to the card’s data, so the agency’s cards don’t have to be reissued or revalidated. That saves the agency time and money, and deployment is immediate.

Appropriate for DoW branches, federal civilian agencies, state & local governments and tribal governments with air-gapped Windows workstations.

Secure, Offline Logins

Power LogOn GOV-COA works with contact PIV and CAC cards.

When the card is inserted and the PIN entered, workstation-authorized certificates are accepted. All other certificates are denied.

 

  • Logon with the PIV or CAC credential’s existing digital certificate
  • Uses the credential’s existing PIN and never stores it
  • Makes no changes to the card’s data

Enrollment and Management Tools

IT manages the authorized certificates using the enrollment and management tools.

A 2021 independent penetration tester, Secure Network Technologies, gave 5 out of 5 stars for Power LogOn GOV-COA.

Power LogOn GOV-COA has been reviewed by USAF against the DISA Application Security STIG, and accepted.

Zero Trust Authentication Methods

Passwords alone can be stolen, and Power LogOn fixes that:

  • Possession (something you have: the PIV or CAC smartcard)
  • Knowledge (something you know: the credential’s existing PIN)

Uses the credential’s existing digital certificate.

Built for Air-Gapped Workstations

Ideally suited for Windows workstations isolated from an agency’s network that require certificate-based multi-factor authentication.

  • Power LogOn GOV-COA works with contact PIV and CAC cards.
  • Does not require any additional hardware infrastructure.
  • Scalable and adaptable for agencies of any size.
True Multi-Factor Authentication

The combination of two or more dissimilar factors.

  • Card + PIN

 

NOTE: Two-step verification uses two similar factors. That is not MFA. Example: Password + SMS code

Operating System: Power LogOn GOV-COA runs on air-gapped workstations with Windows 11 and Windows 10.

Readers: PC/SC Smartcard readers

Cards: PIV or CAC  credentials with X.509 certificates
