Authernative(R) Cryptographic Module Achieves Stringent FIPS 140-2 Government Standard
 The FIPS 140-2 compliant Authernative(R) Cryptographic Module embedded in AuthGuard(R) user authentication product assures U.S. and Canadian government customers, system integrators, & resellers that AuthGuard(R) product provides the highest level of protection for sensitive information and comply with strict government security regulations. AuthGuard(R) user authentication product is most suitable for Federal agencies complying with such government guidelines as "E-Authentication," "Protection of Agency Sensitive Information," "Safeguarding Personally Identifiable Information," "Telework," "Policy for a Common Identification Standard for Federal Employees and Contractors," "Continuity of Operations Programs," and other initiatives designed to ensure secure access in government environments. AuthGuard(R) is a versatile authentication server providing, supporting, and managing multiple open and proprietary authentication methods through a single user interface. Authentication options range from legacy password, to one-time challenge one-time response, OTP, out-of-band, and secure in-band authentication. These methods, used alone or in combinations, allow for one-factor, layered, or multi-factor authentication that is electronically deployable, has scalable security, high usability, low total cost of ownership, and self-service capabilities. "Authernative Cryptographic Module embedded in AuthGuard provides for secure mutual authentication and session-only random symmetric key distribution in client-server architecture enabled with a multifactor authentication scheme," said Dr. Len Mizrah, CEO of Authernative, Inc. "Our continued commitment in obtaining NIST certifications is a clear validation of Authernative's expertise in the security industry built on intellectual property foundation, including numerous U.S. and International patents in the area of user authentication, transaction authentication, and encryption key management, coupled with years of innovative security product development. In order to expedite the FIPS 140-2 validation process, Authernative partnered with Corsec Security, Inc., a consulting firm with over ten years of validation experience.
