Worthy of admission. ad·mis Of Recorded Telephone Calls Dictaphone(R) Corporation announced today the introduction of Freedom(R) Authentication, an add-on module to its Freedom(R) recording system. Freedom(R) Authentication uses the latest technology and processes and is designed to meet or exceed Federal Information Processing Standard Federal Information Processing Standards (FIPS) are publicly announced standards developed by the United States Federal government for use by all non-military government agencies and by government contractors. (FIPS (Federal Information Processing Standards) A series of publications issed by the U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) that specifies information security guidelines for federal government departments and agencies. 140-1), Level 2. Dictaphone has joined forces with Chrysalis-ITS, a leading provider of hardware security modules, servers and appliances, and Baltimore Technologies Baltimore Technologies was an internet security firm founded in 1976 by Michael Purser. It was acquired in 1996 by a team financed by Dermot Desmond and led by Fran Rooney, who became CEO. , a global leader in e-security, to create and deliver Freedom(R) Authentication. Chrysalis-ITS provides its FIPS 140 Validated Luna 2 Secure Encryption and Key Storage Token, and Baltimore Technologies' 'UniCERT(TM)' provides PKI-based digital certificate services. When combined with Dictaphone's Authentication software, this package delivers a highly secure methodology that is designed to ensure that voice recordings are in their original and unaltered state. The Chrysalis-ITS Luna 2 token contains a unique RSA (1) (Rural Service Area) See MSA. (2) (Rivest-Shamir-Adleman) A highly secure cryptography method by RSA Security, Inc., Bedford, MA (www.rsa.com), a division of EMC Corporation since 2006. It uses a two-part key. public and private key pair. The public key, along with specific Dictaphone customer information, is placed into an X.509 certificate, which is digitally signed Any message or key that has been encrypted with a digital signature. When a user's public key is digitally signed by a certification authority (CA), it is known as a digital certificate or digital ID. See digital signature and digital certificate. by Baltimore Technologies and programmed into the token. The token is delivered to the customer by a secure means, inserted into the Freedom(R) system, and activated using a confidential and secure code. As calls are recorded and various meta data are added, an authentication stamp is calculated using a "hash" algorithm, appended to the call, and signed by the token. If any alterations are made to the call after the authentication stamp is applied, Dictaphone's Authentication player will so indicate. A stand-alone version of this player is available for use away from a Freedom(R) system in locations such as a courtroom and can be used on a laptop or desktop computer. The player will verify the status of the recorded call to provide non-repudiation that the recording was indeed signed by a specific Freedom(R) recording system and has not been altered. Freedom(R) Authentication can sign up to 1500 calls per minute to accommodate even the busiest recording environments. This methodology will help to ensure the admissibility of recorded calls as evidence in a court of law as well as to save time and resources in the duplicating and distribution of evidentiary ev·i·den·tia·ry adj.
