MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif.,
April 19, 2017 /PRNewswire/
-- MobileIron (NASDAQ:MOBL), the security backbone for the
digital enterprise, and Entrust Datacard, a leader of trusted
identity and secure transaction technologies, today announced that
their joint derived credentials solution, MobileIron Derived
Credentials with Entrust IdentityGuard Mobile Smart Credential,
will be included in an upcoming project by the National Institute
of Standards and Technology's (NIST) National Cybersecurity Center
of Excellence (NCCoE) on Derived Personal Identity Verification
(PIV) Credentials.
Derived personal identity credentials provide multi-factor
authentication for mobile devices without the need for passwords
and hardware tokens. The DPC Project at the NCCoE will build on
NIST Special Publication 800-157: Guidelines for Derived
Personal Identity Verification (PIV) Credentials and NISTIR
8055: Derived Personal Identity Verification (PIV) Credentials
(DPC) Proof of Concept Research to demonstrate how derived PIV
credentials can be added to mobile devices so that they can be used
for remote authentication to information technology systems in
operational environments. This project will help agencies comply
with the 2004 Homeland Security Presidential Directive-12
(HSPD-12), which calls for a common identification standard to
promote interoperable authentication mechanisms at graduated levels
of security based on the environment and the sensitivity of data.
MobileIron and other technology providers are working with the
NCCoE to develop practice guides that demonstrate DPC
implementations.
MobileIron is the first enterprise mobility management (EMM)
vendor that integrates with Entrust Datacard and that has a derived
credentials solution in market. The MobileIron and Entrust Datacard
integration provides the first complete Derived Credential Solution
in the market provided by an enterprise mobility management (EMM)
vendor.
"Our partnership with Entrust Datacard gives our customers the
ability to improve the user experience while complying with
stringent security regulations," said Sean
Frazier, Chief Technical Evangelist, MobileIron. "Agencies
can use this as a starting point to accelerate PIVD mobile identity
rollouts that meet the highest level of security."
With Derived Credentials, government agencies such as the USDA
will be able to extend their existing security investments,
including personal identity verification (PIV) and common access
cards (CAC), to mobile devices. The solution will provide secure
mobile access to agency resources without requiring employees to
use additional hardware like sleds or smart card readers.
Government agencies are required to comply with government
regulations and security standards, such as Homeland Security
Presidential Directive-12 (HSPD-12) and FIPS 201. Derived
Credentials will meet these standards.
"Federal government agencies are demonstrating their commitment
to PIV-based credentials by implementing these solutions and we're
very proud that our technology partnership with MobileIron
demonstrates our goal to provide the strongest trust model for
mobile identity and authentication in the market today,"
said Ryan Zlockie, vice president authentication solutions,
Entrust Datacard. "NCCoE is working to apply NIST
cybersecurity standards to address challenges enterprises face and
we're pleased to be part of that effort."
