Pre-boot authentication

Pre-boot authentication is often seen as the natural complement to Full Drive Encryption, as it brings the data protection even further. These solutions require the user to authenticate at the very first step of the device usage, before even booting the operating system.
Gemalto solutions bring to these systems the necessary components to bridge a stronger and earlier authentication with further applications once the user is logged in the operating system (digital signature, SSO, VPN, etc).
