Confidence without compromise...
Today's fast-paced business world demands constant, reliable, and controlled access to confidential information. The need to securely transfer, track, and verify sensitive data is a given. Strong authentication is a must. But it often seems that relieving the headache of insecurity often leads to the migraine of inconvenience. On the other hand, finding the convenience you want too often sacrifices the security you need. Why settle? That is why Priva created the Cleared® Security Platform™, a customizable, powerful, multi-part, auditable, end-to-end authentication platform offering unparalleled authentication without compromise.
Authenticate with certainty...
Priva’s Cleared Security Platform goes beyond traditional three-factor authentication (what you have, what you know, and who you are) to provide the most robust advanced authentication technology in an easy-to-use solution. The major components are the ClearedHost™, a secure authentication server, and the ClearedChip™, a custom mixed-signal integrated circuit that has been FIPS 140-2 Level 3 validated. Additionally, the ClearedKey™, a personal biometric authentication device incorporating the ClearedChip, is provided for user authentication. Together, they provide a robust authentication solution for secure transactions, with the ability to seamlessly integrate with new and legacy applications. The Cleared Security Platform results in lower maintenance, flexible security policy setting, and increased return on investment.
An end-to-end system...
Be confident that only authorized users have access to sensitive data, with certainty that data is received from a valid source every time. Know that the transaction of your company’s data is fully auditable. When it comes to authentication needs, be certain. Within the Cleared Security Platform, network sessions are created in a tightly bound authentication flow. The Platform authenticates systems, networks, and users through an end-to-end system that redefines single-point authentication. The Cleared Security Platform minimizes time to deployment and represents an extraordinary value proposition for enterprise customers and their partners.
The authentication process starts by the ClearedChip initiating a bidirectional challenge/response process with the ClearedHost. Once the ClearedChip and ClearedHost have completed this validation process, the user, system, or network is “cleared” to begin a secure session for user authentication, transactions, data streaming, Virtual Private Networks (VPN), or other authorized applications. Unlike other authentication systems, accessing the system using the ClearedChip device does not allow other applications to utilize an open channel via the device without authorization.
Easily adapts to changing environments...
The security world is in a state of convergence. Whether this is due to new technologies, competition, or internal needs, authentication requirements will continue to change. The Cleared Security Platform was architected to adapt to emerging technologies without costly upgrades. The Platform goes beyond traditional authentication, and provides the ability to integrate new applications and to work seamlessly with existing applications. This extensibility results in lower maintenance, controlled access, and greater return on investment.
One time password (OTP) access...
Cleared OTP is unlike traditional one-time password (OTP) models that use either time or counter-based OTP generation schemes. The Cleared OTP solution utilizes end-to-end authentication, and allows IT organizations to rapidly interconnect existing IT infrastructures, as well as applications and web services, utilizing industry standard interfaces. Going beyond traditional OTP, Cleared OTP provides easily-implemented secure transaction encryption. The solution is implemented via available RADIUS, LDAP, and Active-Directory pluggable authentication modules.
