| WinMagic's SecureDoc Full-Disk Encryption Earns BITS Certification WinMagic announces that its SecureDoc full-disk encryption solution for desktops, laptops, and mobile devices has been awarded the BITS Tested Mark, one of the most respected corporate security specifications in the U.S. The certification is awarded by BITS, a non-profit industry consortium comprised of 100 of the largest financial institutions in the United States. A division of The Financial Services Roundtable, BITS was founded in 1996 to foster the growth and development of electronic financial services and e-commerce for the benefit of financial institutions and their customers. Working to sustain consumer confidence and trust by ensuring the security, privacy and integrity of financial transactions, BITS provides intellectual capital and addresses emerging issues where financial services, technology and commerce intersect, acting quickly to address problems and galvanize the industry. In addition to its BITS certification, SecureDoc also holds not only FIPS 140-2 Level 1 but is also the only encryption solution to achieve Level 2 from the National Institute of Standards & Technology (NIST) of the US Department of Commerce. SecureDoc has also earned Common Criteria Evaluation Assurance Level 4 (EAL 4) Certification (the highest level that is recognized in over 20 countries worldwide), while its FORTEZZA-based version of SecureDoc is the only disk encryption software certified by the NSA to safeguard U.S. government's "SECRET" level data. Compatible with all editions of Microsoft Windows Vista, XP, and 2000, SecureDoc Enterprise Server (SES) edition also makes it simple to configure user/group profiles, deploy them, and manage them for tens of thousands of users. Remote features permit adding, removing, or augmenting user/group profiles as well as allowing password recovery and integration / synchronization with Active Directory and other LDAP servers. In addition, SES is uniquely positioned to provide the dynamic provisioning of keys and key files to users, and possesses the unique ability to label keys in human readable terms so that they can be easily identified and recognized for encrypted archived data stores. Problems related to unlocking these long term storage archives are solved as the respective encryption key can now be dynamically provisioned. Passwords will not be remembered 20 years from now, but the encryption keys can still be easily identified in human readable text formats. write your comments about the article :: © 2007 Networking News :: home page |
