Trusted Network Technologies Unveils High-Availabilitiy Architecture in
Identity(TM) Version 1.5
anon Nov 17 Atlanta, GA

Identity? is patent-pending security software that integrates strong,
packet-level authentication of users with in-line enforcement of access
control policies to ensure that unauthorized users can not connect to
protected assets and only authorized users can access protected
networks, systems and applications. Identity has three (3) components:

- I-Host -- Lightweight host driver software that automatically and
transparently embeds a unique, secure, two-factor identity into every
session request by that user.

- I-Gateway -- This hardened, in-line Linux appliance is the policy
enforcement point: allowing only authorized users to connect to
protected assets. Protected systems and applications are cloaked from
unauthorized users who are unable to connect. I-Gateway also logs all
activity for audit and forensic purposes.

- I-Manager -- A simple and intuitive browser-based GUI for
configuration, reporting, audit and management that makes Identity easy
to deploy and operate.

Every time a protected system initiates TCP/IP communications, a
session-specific identity that is encrypted and digitally signed is
automatically and transparently embedded in the session request.

A patent-pending steganographic technique ensures that the
session-specific identity is transparent without the use of
encapsulation, extra headers, padding or other methods that might
disrupt communications with legacy systems and infrastructure.

TCP/IP packets from an Identity-protected system look like any other
TCP/IP packet to other systems (100% RFC-compliant) so there is no need
for existing infrastructure to support Identity traffic. Communications
with non-enabled systems are completely unaffected.

Identity secures enterprise networks with no end-user interaction
required; no cumbersome, confusing external key infrastructure required;
and no effect on normal network operations.

Identity stops network misuse, attacks and identity theft. By
compartmentalizing data and systems, it helps companies meet regulatory
requirements and helps governments lock down critical infrastructure ...
