SECURE64 EARNS IPV6 READY GOLD CERTIFICATION FOR ALL DNS AND DNSSEC PRODUCTS

/in /by
Certification Critical for Products Purchase by U.S. Government Agencies and International Markets


DENVER, CO – May 19, 2009 – Secure64 Software Corporation today announced the company has received IPv6 Ready gold certification from the IPv6 Forum for its family of DNS and DNSSEC products.

IPv6 is the next-generation Internet Layer protocol for packet-switched internetworks and the Internet. Many international markets have already adopted IPv6. Within the U.S., the Office of Management and Budget issued a mandate requiring federal agencies to be IPv6-enabled on their network backbones by June 2008, and further recommending that agencies only procure new IT products that are IPv6 compliant. However, the government has been challenged by the lack of IPv6-enabled security devices and software applications available in the commercial marketplace.

“Secure64 has strived from the beginning to be the ‘gold standard’ in DNS software,” said Steve Goodbarn, CEO and Director of Secure64. “Achieving this latest certification provides our federal and international customers with even greater confidence that our DNS products are state of the art, while providing the highest level of security and performance available.”

History of Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6)

IPv6 is the next-generation Internet Layer protocol for packet-switched internetworks and the Internet. Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) designated IPv6 as the successor to version 4 by the publication of a Standards Track specification,RFC 2460, in December 1998.

The difference between IPv6 and IPv4 is the address space. IPv6 uses a 128-bit address, whereas IPv4 uses only 32 bits. This expansion provides flexibility in allocating addresses and routing traffic and eliminates the primary need for network address translation. IPv6’s 128-bit addresses can support a virtually unlimited number of devices and also can provide additional security and network management features to support mobile computing. IPv6 also implements new features that simplify aspects of address assignment (stateless address autoconfiguration) and network renumbering (prefix and router announcements) when changing Internet connectivity providers thus making Internet management and routing more efficient.

IPv6 was developed in order to address the shrinking number of remaining IPv4 addresses, which were predicted to run out in 2012. This would have prevented more devices from being IP-enabled and capable of connecting to the Internet. IPV6 offers an unlimited number of addresses and therefore supports continued growth of Web-based computing and mobile devices.

About the IPv6 Forum

The IPv6 Forum is a worldwide consortium that provides technical guidance for the deployment of IPv6. One of its key functions is providing certification of IPv6-ready products that conform to IPv6 specifications, support the protocol, and ensure interoperability with other IPv6 products and technologies. The certification and IPv6 Ready Logo program is managed by a global team of technical members of the IPv6 Forum, including equipment vendors, service providers, academic institutions, IPv6 organizations, members from the TAHI Project (Japan), the University of New Hampshire InterOperability (UNH-IOL)(USA), IRISA/INRIA (France), European Telecommunications standardization Institute ETSI (Europe), Telecommunication Technology Association TTA (Korea), Beijing Internet Institute BII (China), ChungHwa Telecom Labs CHT-TL (Taiwan) and Japan Approvals Institute for Telecommunications Equipment JATE (Japan).

U.S. DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR SIGNS ON WITH SECURE64 DNSSEC APPLIANCE

/in /by
Federal Agency Selects Market Leader to Meet OMB Mandate

DENVER – October 21, 2009 – Secure64 Software Corporation announced today that the U.S. Department of the Interior has purchased the company’s Secure64 DNS Signer product to meet the December 2009 OMB mandate requiring all federal agencies to add DNS Security Extensions (DNSSEC) to the DNS. The Domain Name System (DNS) is responsible for translating host names to IP addresses (and vice versa) and is critical for the normal operation of Internet-connected systems. The Department of Interior is the latest in a growing list of government agencies to select the Secure64 DNS Signer.

According to William Corrington, CTO for the Department of Interior, “DOI required a solution able to sign for the entire department, including all component bureaus and offices, so scalability was a factor in our decision. Even more importantly, we needed an automated product with the highest level of security to prevent signature forging. We selected Secure64 DNS Signer because it met all of our requirements and successfully completed a pilot deployment in three days.”

“The Department of the Interior has a lead role in preparedness for natural disasters, such as floods, wildfires, and earthquakes, in addition to managing the natural resources of the United States. The resiliency of their Internet communications is critical to meet these missions and the department has taken a leadership role in deploying an efficient and reliable IT architecture,” said Steve Goodbarn, CEO and Director of Secure64. “We are proud to be part of these efforts and to enable reliable, timely, and cost-effective deployment of DNSSEC.”

As part of its cyber security strategy, the United States Office of Management and Budget issued an OMB mandate that all federal agencies must implement DNSSEC by December 2009. For more information about DNSSEC, Secure64 DNS Signer and Secure64 DNS Authority, visit www.secure64.com.

SECURE64 DNS SIGNER EARNS FIPS 140-2 LEVEL 2 SECURITY CERTIFICATION

/in /by
Product Meets Stringent Cryptographic Security Standards Required for Federal Agencies

DENVER – December 1, 2009 – Secure64 Software Corporation today announced that the company’s Secure64 DNS Signer appliance will receive FIPS 140-2 Level 2 certification from the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and the Communications Security Establishment Canada (CSEC). Secure64 DNS Signer is the first commercial DNSSEC software appliance certified to Level 2. U.S. federal agencies are required to utilize only FIPS-certified products in any federal system that uses cryptography to protect sensitive or valuable information.

“This FIPS certification recognizes the security inherent in Secure64’s architecture, which is able to store sensitive information online safely. By combining this security with high speed cryptography, our DNSSEC signing software is able to offer better cryptographic security and performance than other software solutions without the added cost and complexity of cryptographic hardware,” said Steve Goodbarn, Secure64 CEO.

FIPS 140-2 is a NIST standard for cryptographic security that defines four levels of compliance ranging from Level 1 to Level 4. Level 1 certification provides assurance that the most basic security requirements have been met, while security requirements become more stringent as the certification levels increase. DNSSEC products use cryptographic digital signatures to protect the DNS, so FIPS 140-2 certification is a good measure of the degree of private key protection provided. No software cryptographic module has ever been certified to Level 3 or 4.

“FIPS certification is increasingly an important foundational technology requirement to drive adoption across the federal government marketplace,” said Rishi Sood, Research Vice President at Gartner.

Public key cryptography is commonly used in computer systems to ensure the authenticity, integrity or confidentiality of data communicated across a network. Trust in the security of network communications depends on the degree of security those computer systems provide to protect their cryptographic keys. Without sufficient security, messages could easily be forged or confidential information intercepted.

“Most of our competitors simply use the cryptographic module that ships with the underlying operating system, or an OpenSSL cryptographic module,” said Joe Gersch, Secure64 COO and nationally-recognized DNSSEC expert. “These modules may have been certified by NIST to Level 1, but the version of the module that was certified may or may not be the one actually used by the vendor. In contrast, Secure64 DNS Signer actually met the requirements for Level 3 in four of ten categories, and provides mitigation of attacks beyond what is required for certification. This means our software provides significantly more cryptographic security than any other commercial DNSSEC signing software available today.”

SECURE64 UNVEILS DNS SIGNING SOLUTION FOR SMALL AND MEDIUM SIZED GOVERNMENT AGENCIES

Secure64 DNS Signer – Small Enterprise Edition Provides Features and Functionality
of Secure64’s Award-Winning Solution at a Price Suited for Smaller Agencies

DENVER, CO – March 17, 2010 – Secure64 Software Corporation has unveiled a new DNS signing solution designed for the specific technical and budgetary needs of small and medium sized government agencies. Secure64 DNS Signer – Small Enterprise Edition fully automates Domain Name System Security Extensions (DNSSEC) key generation, key rollover, zone signing and re-signing processes—with a price structure that fits within the IT budgets of small and medium-sized government departments and agencies.

DNS signing is a key requirement of the OMB mandate for all governmental agencies to make their DNS infrastructure more secure. Secure64’s DNS signing solutions are the first commercial products that automate the complex process of zone signing, reducing deployment and administration costs while eliminating errors that can cause domains to become unavailable. Secure64 DNS Signer – Small Enterprise Edition is based on Secure64’s original edition of DNS Signer, which won the Best Security Product award at FOSE 2009.

“Our original edition of DNS Signer is priced in a way that is ideal for large government agencies and departments that have significant DNS infrastructure and multiple zones to sign,” said Thomas Chalk, Senior Vice President of Sales & Marketing at Secure64. “This new edition of Secure64 DNS Signer has pricing that is ideally suited to agencies that have smaller DNS infrastructure and fewer zones to sign. We based this pricing structure on conversations with a number of our government customers, and we believe it will make this DNS signing solution very affordable for smaller-sized agencies.”

Chalk added, “Secure64 DNS Signer has been deployed by a number of high-profile federal agencies and has a 100 percent success rate in addressing their DNS zone signing needs. The product deploys quickly with no disruption and no need to change your organization’s existing infrastructure. It plugs in seamlessly and automates the complex zone signing and key rollover processes that are required to meet the OMB’s DNSSEC mandate.”

Secure64® DNS Signer makes it easy to implement DNSSEC securely and correctly. Signer runs on SourceT, Secure64’s malware-immune micro OS, so it is able to safely keep signing keys online and has achieved FIPS 140-2 level 2 certification. This allows full automation of all of the DNSSEC key management and signing processes. Unlike other DNSSEC solutions, Signer integrates into existing DNS infrastructure. It is fully compatible with Secure64 DNS Authority, BIND, Microsoft Windows 2008 r2 and NSD masters and slaves, so organizations do not have to throw away their existing DNS to deploy DNSSEC.

The Secure64 DNS Signer:

  • Deploys in days rather than months
  • Automates all key management activity securely
  • Offers compatibility with existing provisioning systems/slave architectures
  • Scales to millions of records and hundreds of thousands of zones
  • Supports highly dynamic environments with minimal signing latency
  • Utilizes a Genuinely Secure, Trusted Computing Platform

Secure64 DNS Signer – Small Enterprise Edition pricing starts at $19,995 and the solution is available immediately. For additional information, contact Secure64 at (303) 242-5890 or visit www.secure64.com/products.
