SAFE-BioPharma Association First to Offer TriCipher ID Tool ToGo to

Pharmaceutical and Healthcare Industries

LOS GATOS, Calif., July 15 /PRNewswire/ -- TriCipher, the strong authentication company, has created the first SAFE-BioPharma(TM) "roaming" credential to be accepted by the U.S. Federal Public Key Infrastructure Policy Authority (FPKIPA), the interagency body that enforces digital certificate standards for trusted identity authentication across the federal agencies and between federal agencies and outside organizations.

In the past, companies had to designate specific computers that could be used for digital signing, install smart card readers, and distribute smart cards to authorized users -- an incredibly rigid (and costly) approach.

For the first time, private companies can quickly authenticate employees' identities through roaming credentials, which do not require software or hardware installation or administrative privileges on specific computers. Available through TriCipher ID Tool ToGo(TM), roaming credentials enable users to authenticate their identities and digitally sign business-critical documents from any computer or Internet-enabled device -- easing one of the biggest barriers to digital signing adoption.

"Distributed applications and users require flexible identity management technologies such as roaming credentials," said Gerry Gebel, VP and service director at Burton Group, an independent technology-industry analyst company. "The pharmaceutical industry has very challenging collaboration and secure document exchange requirements and has invested a great deal of time and effort to improve their business process through technical innovation."

Roaming Credentials Eliminate Identity Barriers

Science Application International Corporation (SAIC) is the first to deploy SAFE-BioPharma roaming credentials to the pharmaceutical and healthcare industries using TriCipher's portable, cost
