Accessing UBS Neo

At the heart of UBS Neo authentication is a security solution that provides strong two factor authentication. It is a two-factor authentication implemented 100% in software and provides an easy-to-use and familiar username/password interface. Unlike traditional software key containers, UBS Neo resists brute-force attacks using patented “Cryptographic Camouflage¹” technology to hide the private key from would-be attackers. UBS Neo’s key protection software has been validated by NIST under the Federal Information Processing Standard (FIPS) 140-2, Level.
