AdmitOne Security Joins OASIS Consortium.

Innovator in Risk-Based Authentication Software Demonstrates Commitment to Delivering an Open, Standards-Based Solution

SEATTLE -- AdmitOne Security (formerly BioPassword), the leading innovator of risk-based authentication software for preventing the fraudulent use of digital identities, today announced it has joined the Organization for the Advancement of Structured Information Standards (OASIS), a not-for-profit consortium that drives the development, convergence and adoption of open standards for the global information society. With this membership, AdmitOne announces support for the Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML) to enable integration with web application servers, access management products and SaaS applications. OASIS membership will also help AdmitOne accelerate incorporation of additional standards to ensure the availability of quick-to-deploy, cost-effective authentication solutions for the Web.

"With more than 100 customers, AdmitOne Security's decision to implement SAML 2.0 in its Authentication Suite demonstrates how standards can deliver value to enterprise customers," said James Bryce Clark, director of standards development at OASIS. "We look forward to working with AdmitOne to further drive the advancement of security standards for e-business and Web services applications."

Founded in 1993, OASIS has more than 5,000 participants representing over 600 organizations and individual members in 100 countries. The consortium produces more Web services standards than any other organization and is dedicated to developing worldwide standards for security, business transactions, supply chain, public sector, and interoperability within and between marketplaces.

"As a company focused on delivering unmatched protection for digital identities, we share the OASIS commitment to interoperability on the Web," said Matthew Shanahan, senior vice president of marketing and strategy at AdmitOne Security. "Our membership signals AdmitOne's dedication to delivering an open, standards-based offering and to collaborating with other leading companies for the benefit of customers."

The AdmitOne Authentication Suite links users to their digital identities using multiple factors, including keystroke dynamics, secure device signatures, one-time passwords and challenge-response questions. Without requiring provisioning of hardware or software, the Suite reduces risk and removes the most challenging security hurdles by combining requested authentication factors (a username and password) with observed factors (e.g., keystroke dynamics and device signature) to provide access. The Suite assesses the risk of fraud to determine confidence level of the user's identity. If the confidence score is too low, additional authentication factors (e.g., one-time password to email or SMS) can be employed based on assigned policies. The Suite delivers robust web-based administration and reporting capabilities to allow IT and security personnel to monitor and act on anomalies indicating potentially fraudulent activity.
