Company's Technologies Provides Multi-Factor Authentication With Enhanced
Token Flexibility
SAN FRANCISCO, RSA 2005 (Booth #1504), Feb. 15 /PRNewswire/ -- TriCipher,
Inc., the innovators of multi-factor strong authentication, today announced
the selection of iKey(TM) USB authentication tokens from SafeNet, setting the
standard for information security. The collaboration allows companies to
flexibly deploy iKey tokens using the TriCipher Armored Credential System(TM)
(TACS) infrastructure. With this announcement, companies have additional
strong authentication options from a single infrastructure, and can more
easily match authentication strength to application risk and migrate users to
more secure authentication as new threats arise.
"SafeNet and TriCipher share a common goal of making security simple to
implement and use," said Sally Sheward, VP of Product Marketing and Business
Development at TriCipher. "The combination of our technologies allows
companies to easily add industry-leading iKey USB authentication in response
to new threats."
SafeNet iKey tokens offer a compact hardware solution for authentication
and digital identity management. While offering similar functionality to a
smartcard, iKey packs two-factor authentication, encryption key management,
and digital signing functionality into a tiny, secure package that includes an
integrated USB port to eliminate the need for a separate reader device. The
iKey FIPS 140-1, Level 2 validated hardware, onboard key generation, key
storage, ecvncryption, and digital signing capabilities add high-assurance
security to user login, email encryption, disk encryption, VPN authentication,
and other secure client applications.
"We are pleased to work with TriCipher to offer our industry-leading iKey
tokens as an option with the TACS system. TriCipher has created a very
flexible solution that allows corporations to provision 2-Factor to the users
that need it or to react to new attacks without having to implement new
infrastructure," said Brad Beutlich, Director of Business Development,
SafeNet. "This makes it much easier for corporations to deploy hardware
authentication technology to protect high-risk applications and data."
