Dekart Inc. and BioLink Technologies International, Inc. join forces to integrate data security and strong AES encryption with biometric identification
Dec-01-03
Integration of Dekart security technologies and BioLink biometric technologies extends enterprise security capabilities offering customers comprehensive three factor authentication solutions to insure individual and corporate privacy.
Dekart Inc., Netherlands and BioLink Technologies International, Inc., US, announced a partnership to deliver a combination of security infrastructure solutions, addressing new customer requirements in the rapidly growing authentication, authorizations and administration (“AAA”) market. The two companies introduced their integration of the Dekart authentication and data privacy solutions and BioLink fingerprint matching technologies and products to deliver strong authentication solutions for the enterprise and individual users.
The two companies’ product integration implements a joint solution including fingerprint scanning devices and algorithms, produced by BioLink Technologies International, with Dekart authentication and data privacy solutions. This enables a much higher degree of security for logical access to assets of the enterprise by significantly reducing the potential for human factor security mistakes. Dekart authentication and data privacy solutions employ encryption algorithms certified by NIST, which allow for robust, industry-standard encryption and protection of enterprise sensitive data, while BioLink’s technologies ensure reliable user identification and verification by making use of the unique human physiological characteristics – fingerprints – that cannot be stolen, lost, or forgotten.
The Dekart applications implement either two or three factor authentication, i.e. a PIN code, a hardware key and a biometric device can be used to provide user authentication. Dekart has broadened the array of biometric verification devices it supports through integration of biometrics devices, produced by BioLink Technologies, with its security products. The biometrically enabled solutions are used to verify the identity of the user, his/her PIN code and a hardware key. To do this, the user’s fingerprints are stored as digital templates in the key, and in the process of user identification, the user’s fingerprints are compared with the ones stored in the key through the enrolment process. Upon successful verification, the user is granted access to the protected resources.
BioLink offers a wide range of products and technologies for different market segments: information security, physical access and large-scale civil and criminal identification systems. BioLink’s core products include a family of scalable identification server appliances used both for the secure central storage of the fingerprint template database as well as to run the matching software required for identification. In addition, BioLink offers robust software development tools that allow customers, partners, and developers to integrate BioLink’s biometric solutions into existing software products and to build custom identification applications quickly and cost effectively.
Based on BioLink’s development tools, including the Biometric Service Provider module compatible with the international BioAPI 1.1 standard, Dekart has implemented a three factor authentication solution for two of its product lines: Dekart Data Privacy Solutions - Dekart Private Disk (virtual encrypted disk for on-the-fly protection of sensitive information) and Dekart Secrets Keeper (robust and friendly file encryption tool) and Dekart Authentication Solutions - Dekart Logon (secure authorized access to information resources with hardware key and/or biometric verification), Dekart Logon for Citrix ICA Client, Dekart Terminal logon and Dekart Logon for Novell eDirectory. The user’s profile is stored on the smart card for identity verification. The joint solution provides customers with the ability to adopt a system that combines smart cards, biometrics, and PKI to address some of their heightened security needs.
