MXI Security enables encryption of portable security devices
MXI Security announced the release of ACCESS CAC/PIV, a security solution enabling the U.S. government Personal Identity Verification card (PIV) infrastructure to securely access personal portable security devices (PPSDs).
ACCESS CAC/PIV combines CAC/PIV smart card-based certificate authentication with biometric and password authentication and provides up to three factor authentication to encrypt USB drives. The product works with MXI Security’s FIPS 140-2 Level 2 validated Stealth MXPTM Passport, Stealth MXPTM Bio, and Outbacker MXPTM Bio.
An organization’s existing FIPS 201 infrastructure and the smart cards in hands of personnel are all that is required. Device key management is tied to the PKI encryption key on the user’s smart card, password controls can be set in accordance with existing government standards.
The Stealth MXP Passport and Stealth MXP Bio product families range from 1GB to 32GB capacity USB flash devices. The Outbacker MXP Bio product family includes 80GB to 500GB capacity USB hard disk devices. These devices enable organizations to securely store sensitive information, applications, and digital identity credentials. All are available in a FIPS 140-2 Level 2 validated version. ![[end]](/resources/bullet/digitalidnews-4.gif)
