Overview of eToken Virtual and eToken Rescue

eToken PKI Client supports eToken software tokens. The eToken software tokens are stored as files on the computer.

The following types of eToken software tokens are available:

eToken Rescue: provides a solution when a staff member loses or damages an eToken when away from the office. eToken Rescue is a read-only token. You cannot import certificates. It operates for a limited period of time.
eToken Virtual: performs all the functions of an eToken NG-OTP. It can store the same data, including eToken Single Sign-On (SSO) profiles and key pairs and certificates. It supports OTP generation (if so configured) and administrator unlock.

eToken Virtual is “locked” to a particular computer or storage device (such as a flash drive). This means that it can be used only on the computer or storage device where it was enrolled.

eToken Virtual Temp: identical to eToken Virtual, but contains certificates which become invalid after a specified time period.
