MultiFactor Announces Federation Support with Release of SecureAuthID.net
New Secure Authentication Solution for OpenID and Federated
Applications
IRVINE, Calif.--(Business Wire)--
MultiFactor Corporation, an innovator in 2-factor authentication,
web application security and SSL VPN Authentication solutions, today
announced the release of SecureAuthID.net - a free version of the
fully secured deployment of MultiFactor's SecureAuth product that
issues a re-usable credential for use on federated web sites.
SecureAuthID.net leverages MultiFactor's award winning two factor
authentication product, SecureAuth - a tokenless, non-phishable
authentication tool.
"Questionable security and user authentication has been a major
deterrent for this space. Now with SecureAuthID.net and its
integration with OpenID, MultiFactor enables secure access to just
about any application service," said Craig Lund, chief executive
officer of MultiFactor Corporation.
SecureAuthID.net derives its operability from SecureAuth's unique
ability capable of abstracting the complexity of bi-directional,
mutual authentication of both the client and the server. For federated
deployments, such as SAML-based federated systems, Google Apps, OpenID
and WCF, the enterprise network simply redirects to an encrypted URL
where the SecureAuth solution is front-ending the identity provider.
Once authenticated, the SecureAuthID.net solution simply implements
the federation assertion token (SAML, OpenID, etc) that is needed for
the user to gain access to the "service provider" or application.
"MultiFactor Corporation's secure authentication product for the
enterprise was designed from the onset for integration into federation
identity models," states MultiFactor COO, Garret Grajek. SecureAuth is
designed to drop into web environments in both the traditional hosting
models and in the new Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) models. For more
