SecureAuth Awarded Two Patents for User Authentication Methods for Secure Mobile, Web, Cloud and Network Access
IRVINE, CA, Feb 20, 2013 (MARKETWIRE via COMTEX) --
SecureAuth, a leading provider of identity enforcement technology
for the enterprise, has been issued two patents by the US Patent and
Trademark Office. Patent 8,301,877 is for configuring a valid
duration period for a digital certificate, and patent 8,327,142 is
for facilitating secure online transactions. SecureAuth will
demonstrate the patented technology within its SecureAuth IdP mobile
access management solution at the RSA Conference, the world's leading
information security industry event.
Patent 8,301,877 is a method for the registration of X.509
certificates used to digitally sign and authenticate a user and
server. It securely abstracts certificate delivery of the certificate
identity (username), expiration and attributes. The benefit is it
greatly simplifies deploying X.509 delivery and authentication for
user and server access among mobile, web, cloud and network access
points.
Patent 8,327,142 is a method for mutually authenticating a client and
a server by validating X.509 certificates through bilateral
authentication without the need of a traditional C-SSL exchange. The
benefit is it removes systems prompts from certificate storage and
retrieval and greatly simplifies the user experience, especially in
mobile environments.
"Coding for user authentication and deployment of certificates within
an enterprise is very burdensome and certainly not practical as IT
departments expand their access restrictions to mobile devices,"
commented Garret Grajek, chief technology officer at SecureAuth. "The
two patents awarded to SecureAuth address these issues and have
already shown significant market acceptance with the broad adoption
of SecureAuth IdP, which now has more than 10 million corporate end
users."
The patented technologies are currently used with SecureAuth IdP,
which authenticates user identities using two-factor authentication
and enables single-sign-on from any device to any network access
point. Integration of the technology will be extended to new products
addressing growing enterprise mobile access and identity management
challenges due to BYOD.

RSA Conference. SecureAuth has nine additional patents pending.
