LuciGate Frequently Asked Questions |
Q. Can I configure it over the Network? | A. No you cannot. This is by design. Responding to any sort of messages on the network is a potential vulnerability. |
Q. Can LuciGate protect me from a "denial of service" attack | A. Many packet structures that are used by hackers for this type of attack, are automatically discarded. |
Q. Does it do Address Translation? | A. Yes - you can "hide" all your IP addresses by mapping them to other addresses which cannot be seen (pinged) from the Outside World. |
Q. What if someone removes the smartcard from the LuciGate? | A. Then nothing will pass through the Lucigate. It becomes an "air gap". |
Q. How do I program the smartcard? | A. With a "SmartMouse" programming unit which can be plugged into the COM port of any IBM compatible PC. It is supplied with the KeyCutter which runs under Windows 95 or NT. Click Here for a demo version of this program. |
Q. Does LuciGate require any maintenance? | A. Once it is set up, you can just leave it to do its job. |
Q. How long does it take to install the hardware? | A. As long as it takes to plug in three cables and turn on the power! |
