New Justification for Mutual, Multi-factor Authentication

 

The provisions under the new European Union privacy law approved by a European Parliament committee include fines up to 100 million Euros or 5% of turnover (http://europa.eu/rapid/press-release_MEMO-14-186_en.htm ). If a significant data breach occurs then having a good defence might prove prudent. So being able to say “We have implemented the best mutual, multi-factor Authentication Technology available” is useful and might also be a good argument to against your company’s Brokers to reduce Insurance premiums.

However, there is a fly in this ointment. It won’t be useful to say you have been using a strong authentication system that has inherent weaknesses or one that has been conspicuously compromised (http://www.theregister.co.uk/2011/03/18/rsa_breach_leaks_securid_data/ ).

Likewise, an Authentication System that can be broken by a privileged Insider will not withstand basic cross examination. However, CASQUE SNR (www.casque.co.uk) can sustain the defence against the most hostile and mocking prosecution Barrister! 

CASQUE SNR gains DIPCOG Approval

DIPCOG is a UK Ministry of Defence (MOD) forum run by a committee composed of representatives primarily from the MOD and CESG.

New Research Contract

We are delighted to have been selected by North West Aerospace Alliance to implement a major research project to extend our Authentication Technology, CASQUE SNR, to “Things” instead of “Humans”.

We will produce a new Secure Command and Control communication method for the Internet of Things.
