Animetrics has announced the release of a new facial recognition authentication service available on certain mobile phones.

The service, called FaceR CredentialME, is available on devices using the Android, Windows Mobile and RIM operating systems on the Sprint 3G or 4G networks and was launched in conjunction with Troy Security Solutions, a mobile products and solutions provider. 

SPYRUS Inc. has received a third FIPS 140-2 Level 3 verification for its Hydra Privacy Card, the first and only commercial product of its kind. The USB encryption devices have already received the certificate 1179 for file-based encryption and certificate 1320 for the SPYCOS crypto core, as well as the certificate 1394 for the XTS-AES sector-based encryption devices.

The FIPS 140-2 Level 3 validation however makes SPYRUS is the only vendor to execute the entire set of Suite B cryptographic algorithms across all product lines. The Hydra PC Personal Encryption Device protects your data in a multitude of storage options. For instance the device secures on the drive, on your PC, or in the cloud. This is possible because every file is encrypted with a unique AES-256 bit CBC key. 

Canadian Retail Solutions (CRS) and YESpay International have partnered to deliver EMV chip and PIN managed card payment service to Canadian customers. YESpay’s EMBOSS is an EMV chip and PIN accredited and PCI-DSS Level 1 certified managed payment service.

Because EMBOSS payment gateway for EMV card processing is pre-accredited with Chase Payment and First Data Merchant Services and PCI-DSS Level 1 compliant, Canadian Retail Solutions Retail Pro software is then already integrated with EasyV-Retail, a “ready to use” product available to merchants in a matter of days. The software is specifically designed for multi-store operations. 

The latest edition to Entrust’s suite of authentication technology has been released as part of the new IdentityGuard 9.3. Entrust IdentityGuard Mobile is a mobile application that works to protect against man-in the-browser malware attacks. It has been recommended that financial companies secure their networks with a multi-layered security application when completing transactions.

IdentityGuard Mobile enables companies to use a smart phone to authenticate customers, partners, vendors or users. 

The 10th Annual Tech Titans and Titan Fast Awards have named Entrust’s IdentityGuard Mobile application a finalist in the Corporate Horizon category. The award is granted by the Texas based technology trade organization, Metroplex Technology Business Council (MTBC).

The Tech Titans Award, which recognizes companies who have made a significant contribution in the area of technology, expressed interest in Entrust’s identity solution saying that the company has made a noteworthy effort and commitment to protecting against online threats. 

Lieberman Software helps companies with privileged identity management, handing access to root and administrative accounts. “Essentially the keys to the kingdom,” says Philip Lieberman, president and CEO at Lieberman Software.

“We provide a solution that allows all the passwords to be changed, randomized and then the people who are supposed to have access to them are given access at the appropriate time,” Lieberman says.

These types of systems are necessary to meet various regulation from Sarbanes Oxley, the Payment Card Industry, Gramm Leach Bliley Act and FISMA.

Lieberman Software Corp. has partnered with Aquion to resell the Lieberman’s identity management and security management products.

Aquion was chosen as a partner to target the Asia Pacific region, most specifically Australia, New Zealand and India. Recently Lieberman has noticed a demand for privileged account password management technology in that region which is why they called upon the Asia-Pacific supplier Aquion to expose and support their products.
