Network security protocols
Product Summary
TeamF1’s AuthAgent family of products is a set of authentication
protocol implementations that can be used either standalone or easily
glue in to various network and system security protocols. Most modern
network and system security protocols utilize strong encryption techniques
to safeguard data from unauthorized access. In the case of network security
protocols, data in transit is protected. In the case of system and data
security mechanisms, the connected network node, or the data residing
within a system is protected respectively. However, in order for this
protection to be truly effective, there needs to be a strong method of
differentiating between authorized and unauthorized access i.e. for a
node or a user to prove that it is the entity it claims to be. In the
absence of such a mechanism, strong encryption can be bypassed simply
by an unauthorized entity masquerading as an authorized one. To facilitate
this "proof" of identity, it is common to use authentication
mechanisms that may already exist in the enterprise so that connected
embedded devices can fit in without the need for specialized administration.
TeamF1’s AuthAgents enable this by providing flexible authentication
methods that can be used stand-alone with the embedded application, or
in conjunctions with other security protocols that allow for configurable
authentication.
Product Description
AuthAgent Kerberos
AuthAgent Kerberos is an embedded implementation of the Kerberos
V authentication protocol (RFC 4120) for client agents and network services
running on embedded platforms. Being fully interoperable with Unix® Kerberos
Key Distribution Centers (KDCs) and Microsoft® Active Directory Services
in Windows® servers, it allows for seamless secure authentication
in heterogeneous environments. With Kerberos becoming a preferred authentication
mechanism for several network security protocols and a required part
of several industry specifications, AuthAgent Kerberos provides a convenient
way to add highly-secure authentication to embedded devices.
AuthAgent TACACS+
AuthAgent TACACS+ is a lean, embedded implementation of the Cisco
TACACS+ protocol as specified in TACACS+ RFC draft (draft-grant-tacacs).
It implements the client side of a client/server mechanism to carry authentication
and authorization information between a network service granting privileges
and a shared server that has the centralized user and node information
required to decide whether such privileges should be granted. When used
in conjunction with protocols that secure the network path, AuthAgent
TACACS+ provides a powerful, yet simple mechanism to authenticate and
authorize access to VPNs, gateway devices, dial-up concentrators, Ethernet
switches and wireless networks.
AuthAgent RADIUS
AuthAgent RADIUS is a lean-footprint embedded implementation of
the Remote Authentication Dial In User Service as specified by RFC 2865.
It relies on a client/server mechanism to carry authentication, authorization
and configuration information between a service which needs to grant
privileges, and a shared server that has the user and node information
required to decide whether such privileges should be granted. It facilitates
the use of a server based non-embedded user database with centralized
user and configuration administration that is very easy to use with a
provisioning system such as an OSS (Operational Support System).
AuthAgent X.509
AuthAgent X.509 is an implementation of public key and digital certificate
authentication for embedded devices. It is designed for use as an authentication
mechanism for various network security protocols and also as a standalone
authentication agent that can be used by embedded applications. It
provides the ability to validate certificates issued by a trusted Certificate
Authority (CA) and includes advanced features such as certificate generation
and revocation. Given its small footprint and ability to scale out
optional features, AuthAgent X.509 is ideally suited for use in embedded
environments.
