Kobil Systems Joins SecureWave Hardware Vendor Partnership Program.DURHAM, N.C. -- Kobil's mIDentity Authentication (1) Verifying the integrity of a transmitted message. See message integrity, e-mail authentication and MAC. (2) Verifying the identity of a user logging into a network. Device Now Certified for Compatibility with SecureWave's Leading Endpoint Security Technology SecureWave, a worldwide leader in endpoint security, today announced that Kobil Systems, a global leader among IT security technology vendors in the field of Digital Identities and data security for the past twenty years TWENTY YEARS. The lapse of twenty years raises a presumption of certain facts, and after such a time, the party against whom the presumption has been raised, will be required to prove a negative to establish his rights. 2. , has now joined its Hardware Vendor Partnership Program with the certification of Kobil's mIDentity USB USB in full Universal Serial Bus Type of serial bus that allows peripheral devices (disks, modems, printers, digitizers, data gloves, etc.) to be easily connected to a computer. smartcard Flashdrive. Kobil's focus has always been on security, mobility, flexibility and to offer the customer comprehensive professional expertise. This industry-first certification program for portable storage media provides hardware manufacturers with the endorsement of the market leader in endpoint security and certifies that Kobil's solutions are fully-compatible with SecureWave's Sanctuary(R) Device Control software. "In a world where technologies, applications and communication devices are multiplying to address an ever growing variety of needs linked to mobility and security, integrating point solutions, centralizing cen·tral·ize v. cen·tral·ized, cen·tral·iz·ing, cen·tral·iz·es v.tr. 1. To draw into or toward a center; consolidate. 2. management and evolving responsibilities have become a major concern. We are pleased to be partnering with SecureWave and we see this partnership as a means to provide our channel partners with a flexible modular solution addressing the customers' needs for strong authentication, encryption The reversible transformation of data from the original (the plaintext) to a difficult-to-interpret format (the ciphertext) as a mechanism for protecting its confidentiality, integrity and sometimes its authenticity. Encryption uses an encryption algorithm and one or more encryption keys. , secure storage, secure mobile data and secure management of devices and code. As opposed to most security vendors whose principles are to deny, our partnership is about enabling channel partners and customers to reach their productivity goals," says Dr. Andreas Meyer, vice president of sales and marketing at Kobil Systems. The SecureWave Hardware Vendor Partnership Program provides a way for Kobil Systems to market the enterprise benefits of its solutions while ensuring its commitment to device safety by partnering with SecureWave. The devices of all partners in the program are subject to extensive and stringent testing for compatibility and interoperability The capability of two or more hardware devices or two or more software routines to work harmoniously together. For example, in an Ethernet network, display adapters, hubs, switches and routers from different vendors must conform to the Ethernet standard and interoperate with each other. with Sanctuary Device Control. Once certified, SecureWave and Kobil are capable of offering enterprise and government organizations a truly secured, scalable and manageable solution using Sanctuary Device Control to ensure the utmost integrity and security of device use throughout the organization. "Kobil's mIDentity line of products perfectly suits the goal of our partnership program," said Bertrand Manhe, director of strategic alliances at SecureWave. "mIDentity is the typical example of a smart device that the extended enterprise needs in today's complex IT world. The challenge is enabling new devices and software technologies to answer business needs while making sure the administrator does not lose control over his extended network. With Sanctuary Device and Application Control, organizations can take advantage of the secure features of mIDentity devices while enforcing user device and application policies throughout the organization." Sanctuary Device Control and Sanctuary Application Control offer users the ability to monitor the use of mIDentity, helping further extend the mobility of customers. Not only will customers be more secure through the use of Kobil's dual factor authentication smart-card based tokens, one-time password (security) One-Time Password - (OTP) A security system that requires a new password every time a user authenticates themselves, thus protecting against an intruder replaying an intercepted password. OTP generates passwords using either the MD4 or MD5 hashing algorithms. management, single sign-on An identification system that lets users log into multiple Web sites on the Internet with one username and password. Single sign-on systems are also used within an enterprise, enabling users to access all authorized resources in the local network using the same username and password. applications and PKI (Public Key Infrastructure) A framework for creating a secure method for exchanging information based on public key cryptography. The foundation of a PKI is the certificate authority (CA), which issues digital certificates that authenticate the identity of support, but they will also have a means to address their mobile communities without device client installation. Customers will also be able to decide which encryption to use centrally (data, folders, emails on laptops or on the mIDentity key). Customers will be able to control what data is allowed to be copied from laptops onto the secure storage device and hence better apply their security policies.
