RocITCrypt™: Credential-based
Data Protection Service
RocITCrypt is a centrally managed security service that enables the provisioning and management a variety of different credentials for an organization and its end users. Through the use of sophisticated key management technologies, it allows organizations to define and set up individual security keys (credentials) that can be granted to different users and internal groups. These credentials can then be used to encrypt different data sets within the organization including simple data blocks, database records, full files or folders, or individual documents. Once encrypted the data becomes "opaque" and packaged into a secure data object, it can be securely passed around the network, or within enterprise applications.
Each secure data object has an associated metadata record that defines the credential algorithm (keys) utilized to encrypt the object. Only users that have the necessary credentials may gain access (either read-only or read/write) to the object and are granted permission to decrypt and utilize the object. Absolute ID provides utilities that can be integrated into enterprise applications and its infrastructure, so encryption and decryption occurs on the "edge" utilizing end-user credentials that are securely stored within secure credentials storage locations.
Each integrated end-user application, enterprise service, or web site leverages these credentials to ensure that unsecure data is no longer available "in the clear" at rest, on the wire, or within the specified application itself.
A component of the platform, the proprietary RocITCrypt Management Service, provides the ability to issue user credentials that are created using advanced technology, which assures the issuing authority that every credential is unique and meets established policies and rules. The credential is assigned and authenticated to a specific user.
RocITCrypt and the RocITCrypt Management Service fully integrated into Absolute ID's lightweight, extensible, flexible, and platform independent framework. The framework allows a multitude of applications to "plug-in" and leverage the power of the RocITCrypt system, while providing a common user experience through the framework's unique user interface (UI).
