Data and Database Management Software
Software facilitates authentication of embedded devices.
Press Release Summary:
AuthAgent X.509 modular authentication framework is based on X.509 digital certificates. It can be used with diverse security technologies requiring digital-certificate based authentication, such as SSL and SSH for secure device management and IPsec for layer 3 security. AuthAgent RADIUS interacts with enterprise authentication databases to decide whether embedded device it is used in should grant privileges or not. It secures everything from VPNs to wireless networks.
