ZEPHYR COVE, Nev., Nov. 13, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- VirnetX™ Holding
Corporation (NYSE AMERICAN: VHC), an Internet security software and
technology company, announced today that on October 26, 2018, it received a Gabriel Platform
Testing Report from J3 Digital Forensics LLP, a New York based professional services team with
technical expertise and diverse resources in digital forensics. The
report, which focused on validation testing of five of Gabriel's
Secure Collaboration Suite technical claims, concluded that J3
Digital Forensics was unable to compromise Gabriel's encrypted
communications environment, within a single secure enclave or
between multiple secure enclaves.
During testing the security testing team did not gain
unauthorized access to secure communications content, Gabriel user
accounts, or secure servers. The results showed that the testing
team was unable to compromise Gabriel's encrypted communication
tunnel. The five technical claims that were tested are:
- An attacker cannot attack a user's device and/or data, when
it cannot be found on the Internet.
- Gabriel Domain Services are secure and fully
authenticated.
- Gabriel provides end-to-end privacy.
- Gabriel allows access only to trusted services on its
VPNs.
- Gabriel security policy controls peer access and is
determined by the user and/or domain administrator.
"You can't hack what you can't see has been a guiding
principle in Gabriel's design and implementation," said Dr.
Robert Dunham Short III, VirnetX
Chief Technical Officer. "The comprehensive testing done by
J3 Digital Forensics confirms Gabriel's stealth feature as well as
other key claims that we believe make Gabriel a superior secure
communications platform."
