whitepaper Overview of Federal Government Authentication Efforts White Paper2005-08-22 03:00:04 Enspier Technologies
  Currently, there are two major government-wide authentication efforts under way the E-Authentication Initiative (EAI) and the Personal Identity Verification (PIV) System. This paper highlights essential aspects of each effort, and compares and contrasts the two. Authentication is the process of establishing confidence in user identities. This is accomplished by establishing that someone is in fact who he or she claims to be. Authorization is the process of giving someone, once identified (i.e., authenticated), permission to do or have something. Authentication and authorization are, in most implementations, inextricably linked. Authentication precedes authorization.   
whitepaper VeriSign Managed PKI Service for the Federal Bridge Certification Authority2005-08-30 03:00:03 VeriSign
  VeriSign, the leading provider of Intelligent Infrastructure Services for the Internet and telecommunications networks, offers government agencies a comprehensive and cost-effective solution that meets FBCA technical-interoperability requirements for PKI-based security. The VeriSign Managed PKI Service, which has been certified by the GSA as technically interoperable with the FBCA, lets government agencies implement a PKI and Certificate Authority (CA) quickly without the expense of designing, building, staffing, and maintaining an in-house PKI backbone.   
whitepaper Sizzle: A Standards-Based End-to-End Security Architecture for the Embedded Internet2005-10-04 03:00:05
  According to popular perception, public-key cryptography is beyond the capabilities of highly constrained, "mote"-like, embedded devices. This paper shows that elliptic curve cryptography not only makes public-key cryptography feasible on these devices, it allows one to create a complete secure web server stack that runs efficiently within very tight resource constraints.   
whitepaper eTrust SiteMinder 100 Million User Project: Cost-Effective Access Management for the Large-Scale Enterprise2006-01-25 01:01:34
  As more web applications are deployed and more business is conducted by more people online, companies need a security solution that is efficient, available, reliable and scalable. eTrust SiteMinder meets all these criteria and is customer proven in over 870 sites around the globe. eTrust SiteMinder achieves high levels of performance by optimizing the speed of its policy server. With quick start-up and fast runtime performance, the policy servers provide efficient security services capable of supporting millions of users and thousands of protected resources.   
whitepaper Butler Group, Tumbleweed SecureTransport Technology Audit2005-06-14 03:00:02
  SecureTransport from Tumbleweed is a safe, automated file transfer family of products, available as software or an appliance, which allow users to select their transport protocol of choice to transmit or receive data, without having to resort to the purchase of expensive solutions. Compliance, and the need to transfer increasingly large volumes of data electronically have resulted in a demand for solutions that manage the process in a secure manner. One of the strengths of the solution is that clients exchanging files with an organisation do not need to implement any special software to download or upload files, although Tumbleweed does have its own clients with additional features built-in. A current weakness is that the appliance version of the product does not currently have an automated installer, which will be addressed in a future release. SecureTransport is an ideal solution for any organisation that has a large amount of data that needs to be transferred electronically. Butler Group believes that the appliance version is especially suited to the SME market.

whitepaper Integrating a Signature Module in SSL/TLS2005-05-27 03:00:01 Ecole Nationale Superieure des Telecommunications
  SSL/TLS is currently the most deployed security protocol on the Internet. SSL/TLS provides end-to-end secure communications between two entities with authentication and data protection. However, what is missing from the protocol is a way to provide the non-repudiation service. This paper describes a generic implementation of the non-repudiation service as an optional module in the SSL/TLS protocol.   
whitepaper Guide to Securing Your E-Government Web Site2005-08-23 03:00:03 VeriSign
  By setting up an online presence for E-Government, your agency can reach the millions of citizens and other government agencies who already use the Internet for transactions. By ensuring the security of these sites, your agency can engender trust and make it easier to transact business with the Federal Government. A VeriSign SSL Certificate also enables your agency to immediately comply with security provisions of the E-Government Act of 2002, begin conducting online business securely, with authentication, message privacy, and message integrity. As a result, your agency can minimize risk, win user confidence and streamline government business processes.   
whitepaper VeriSign Code Signing for Microsoft Authenticode Technology: Realizing the Possibilities of Internet Software Distribution2006-08-04 01:00:11 VeriSign
  VeriSign is the market leader for making digital commerce and communications possible. Today's private network or intranet communications must be as secure as the confidential traffic that crosses the Internet. As companies face stricter and more comprehensive requirements for improved intranet-based security, the challenges of managing an expanding network grow as well. Companies require easy-to-use, inexpensive, robust solutions to meet these challenges.   
whitepaper Certificate-Based Authentication: A Homeland Security Imperative2005-08-23 03:00:03 Novell
  To strengthen security measures used by all federal agencies, President Bush issued Homeland Security Presidential Directive 12 (HSPD-12), which requires a common form of identification be issued to all federal employees and contractors. To comply with the new regulation, simple passwords - easily hacked, often forgotten and a chronic IT headache - are being replaced by multi-factor authentication processes using various combinations of identification technologies. This explains why the Department of Defense, for example, is using smart cards and Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) to address the need for stronger authentication.
