GateKeeper is a wireless proximity-based access control and authentication device that allows a user to automatically lock their computer by walking away and unlock it by walking back.[1][2][3][4] The GateKeeper consists of a key fob (the device), a USB dongle to transmit the wireless signal, software to manage user credentials, and a password manager.[5][6]
The GateKeeper software features a dashboard that shows the device's signal strength. Through this dashboard, users can select or configure lock settings, manage user credentials, and set the range at which the computer detects the device's presence. Additionally, the software allows users to enable two-factor authentication (2FA) for computer access, requiring them to enter a PIN and carry the GateKeeper security token to log in. It's important to note that if the USB sensor is removed from the computer, the software immediately locks the computer.
The GateKeeper Enterprise software integrates with the GateKeeper hardware, which allows the administrator to control the deployment and management of GateKeepers on the network.[7] The IT administrator can set security policies, gather log data for auditing, conduct productivity analysis, and deploy updates to the client software.[8]
