The document discusses identity assurance levels and identity assertions. It recommends that the assurance level meet the requirements of the identity assertion use case. Both technical and process aspects are important. Lower assurance levels evolved from business-to-consumer use cases, but higher levels of assurance are needed for government and critical infrastructure applications. Standards like PIV and PIV-I can provide a high level of assurance through multi-factor authentication using smart cards. The document cautions against using weaker credentials like usernames and passwords for privileged access or across systems.
There is no debate that companies large or small are more or less have put a lot of efforts in protect digital security and privacy with “best practice” recommendations, often use solutions from branded security vendors or built by best in-house/outsourced experts, yet they are falling prey of cyber and insider attacks, because “compliance” or “best practice” do not equal to security. The reality has shown us that traditional security approaches have fall behind the increased system complexity and advanced technical capabilities that have been mastered by adversaries.
The key weakness in our security defenses lies with the weakness of digital identities systems have been used to authenticate users (no system could defends against attacker impersonates legitimate user); follow by inability to validate the authenticity and integrity of communication (If attacker can temper with the data freely, then no need to crack the one time password) and finally incapable of protecting information from unauthorized accesses in an event of inevitable security breach because unknown system or application security vulnerabilities.
FrontOne’s information security solution addresses all security weakness listed above:
First, FrontOne uses its own digital identity that is harden to withstand advanced hackers using sophisticated real time attacks and help all its users from falling prey of identity thieves from phishing and malware attacks at client side to advanced persistent threats at the server side, because FrontOne’s digital identity is dynamic and non-transferable.
Second, FrontOne provides 100% message integrity by using dedicated and destination aware messaging system and ensure each and every message is completely unique; reducing the chance of attackers from being able to identifying and manipulating it for their benefit.
Finally, FrontOne uses its own method of protecting information at rest, in transit or in use, by focusing our innovation at the security and integrity of encryption key while using industry standardized cryptography. FrontOne’s user centric data protection solution uses dual control for its encryption keys. Random encryption key is protected with security key that has two parts, one part from the client side and other from the centralized key server. This arrangement ensures that access to protected data is available with the presence of the user device of the authorized user.
The security approaches FrontOne have taken above are further strengthened with its own patented technologies that introduce a dynamic element is each and every message and transaction, mutually authenticate both parties before a request is served and providing user with ultimate control that is not accessible digitally.

SMS PASSCODE represents a new generation innovative solution that enables organizations and companies to easily protect employee remote access to corporate systems (Citrix, Microsoft icl. OWA, Virtual Desktops VPN, SSL VPN etc.) with two-factor authentication via SMS, voice call or secure e-mail. In short, the solution first validates the user name and password before creating and sending a one-time-password only, valid for that login attempt. Because it can only be generated this way and only works for that login on that computer, it is award-winning security against these modern threats. Easy and very secure.
Webinar - Easy multi factor authentication strategies and PCI DSSonionid12
In this webinar we will discuss the use of multi-factor authentication (MFA), and the new mandate in the latest version of PCI Data Security Standard, PCI DSS 3.2. MFA goes beyond traditional password-based approaches by combining multiple features, such as biometrics, behavioral patterns, and context information. In addition to covering these, the webinar will also address the problem of selecting the right combination of features for a business, given its unique priorities and circumstances. Learn how to comply with PCI DSS 3.2's MFA mandate for admin and user accounts.
It is important to understand that there are products on the market that use a digital signature or digital certificate, or both. In either case the security is provided by a digital password.
We are different.
We offer the product that combines unique characteristics of the individual to Certificates Public or Private, ensuring their safety in a unique way. With asymmetric key itself, our software is ready to use any biometric product on the market, adapting to the needs of each client.
RESTful APIs,SOAP APIs, Proprietary APIs, protocols beyond APIs, OAuth for Authentication, Federated Authorization Servers across security domains, Token Translation between SAML and JWT, SSO across native applications, all running across Windows desktops and Android mobile computing platforms…and the glue to tie all that together? Are you kidding? A technical chat on a real-life case study of a small but dedicated band of engineers’ attempts to harmonize identity in a very un-harmonized world.

#MFSummit2016 Secure: Mind the gap strengthening the information security modelMicro Focus
Every chain has its weak link. In any Information Security model it’s us, the users. So how do we strengthen a key area? In this session, we review common challenges and learn the strategies for bridging the gap in a secure but user-friendly way.
Presenter: Reinier van der Drift, Product Manager
What does a foundation Target Architecture look like for an Identity, Credentialing, and Access Management project? This presentation addresses fundamental concepts that apply to any industry seeking ICAM, but was originally established with a federal agency in mind.
Three trends are changing the calculus of authentication: Increased use of modern identity proofing broader adoption of adaptive authentication, and local mobile biometrics.
The important role that mobile identity & authentication will have on the deployment and growth of conversational & messaging interfaces & the impact that it will have for brands & improve customer interaction.
IDENTITY PLATFORMS: How central, flexible, deployment of multiple authenticat...Entrust Datacard
Identity and authentication management, or IAM, represents the greatest security return on investment an organization can make. Former National Coordinator for Security, Infrastructure Protection, and Counter-terrorism for the United States, Richard Clarke, once famously said, "If you spend more on coffee than on IT security, then you will be hacked." Many analysts concur that spending on strong authentication provides the greatest security return on investment. This educational white paper, written by Richard Stiennon, Chief Research Analyst at IT-Harvest and Executive Editor of securitycurrent, explores the concept of identity platforms.
• How to fix intrinsic weaknesses in authentication regimes that result in gaping and trivially exploitable vulnerabilities
• Explore the core features of an authentication and identity platform
• Examine specific features and components organizations should require in a software authentication platform
Smart OpenID brings strong authentication for internet cloud service access to mobile devices by leveraging the crypto capabiliteis provided by smart cards and secure elements in mobile phones.
