A New Approach To Security And Usability

Huge growth in the internet as a vehicle for business critical communication, coupled with the growth of applications, such as email, Instant Messaging (IM), Voice Over IP (VoIP) and web services, has contributed to the proliferation of identities. Traditional models for security, such as Public Key Infrastructure (PKI), are not designed to handle the resulting complexity. A new approach is needed, one that is transparent to end users, easy to deploy and manage, and can scale to millions of users on the internet. Voltage Identity-Based Encryption (IBE) is that new approach.

Identity-Based Encryption (IBE)

Invented by Dr. Dan Boneh and Dr. Matt Franklin in 2001, Identity-Based Encryption or IBE, is a breakthrough in cryptography that, for the first time, enables users to simply use an identity, such as an email address, to secure business communication. Moreover, unlike existing security solutions, this business communication can be conducted online as well as offline, from anywhere in the world, without the complexity of certificates, Certificate Revocation Lists (CRLs) and other costly infrastructure. The practical application of Identity-Based Encryption (IBE) results in a solution that is easy to implement and easy to manage, without the overhead and cost inherent in traditional security solutions. The scalability of the Identity-Based Encryption (IBE) approach means that, for the first time, companies can communicate securely with their clients, opening up new business opportunities, better customer service and, most importantly, differentiated competitive advantage.

Heartland ramps up first end-to-end encryption

Heartland ramps up first end-to-end encryption Heartland Payment Systems, the victim last year of a massive data breach of sensitive card data, vowed after that devastating event to develop new security gear based on end-to-end encryption between itself and its merchants to prevent such a breach from occurring again. That's now taking shape, but slowly. "We have a long way to go," acknowledges Heartland CEO Bob Carr, pointing out the so-called E3 payment terminals, intended for small...... [more]

No major PCI DSS revision expected in 2010

No major PCI DSS revision expected in 2010 PCI Security Standards Council general manager Bob Russo said the next revision of the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS), due in October, will contain clarifications but no major changes to the standard. "There won't be any surprises," Russo said. "We're more likely to see guidance documents." Encryption, virtualization and the use of more secure payment terminals are expected to gain more attention. Those topics have been the focu...... [more]

How to verify that an email was opened by the intended recipient

How to verify that an email was opened by the intended recipient To complete registration, several websites send users an email message that contains an HTTPS secured link. However, if that email is intercepted, an impersonator may complete the registration process without accessing the recipient's email account. Is there to set up a server to confirm the email was opened by the intended recipient? Unfortunately, email protocols don't really include a check point to detect whether the original...... [more]

Lock down that data

Lock down that data Another example of the insider threat to personally identifiable information has surfaced. This time it was not just a matter curious employees browsing through celebrity records but a scheme to steal identities and open fraudulent credit card accounts. In December, an employee in the human resources department of the Library of Congress was charged with conspiring to commit wire fraud for a scheme in which he stole information on at least 10 employees from library databases......

QuickStudy: Identity-based encryption

QuickStudy: Identity-based encryption Public-key cryptography offers very strong protection for electronic communications. Much of its strength comes from the use of paired keys, which are separate (but mathematically related) codes that encrypt and decrypt a message; one key is public and one is known only to the recipient. But hardly anyone uses public-key cryptography, because it's it's too much trouble. The recipient has to be prepared with both public and private keys, and the sender has t...... [more]

Unlocking encryption management

Unlocking encryption management As encryption technology becomes more user-friendly and manageable, more businesses are adding standalone encryption platforms to their IT security Someday, encryption features built into a wide range of IT products -- from operating systems and messaging gateways to hard drives and storage systems -- may work in concert to offer central policy enforcement across different types of network assets and devices. Until that day arrives, however, companies embracing t...... [more]
