Secure Name Server
Typically, each time a PC dials into a TCP/IP network (such as the Internet or an Intranet), that machine is randomly assigned a new and dynamic IP address. This ability to "hide" an IP address from unauthorized users is one of the key elements of solid security. Otherwise the machine is vulnerable to Hackers.
SecureAgent was created to enable a Windows® NT server to continually maintain a refreshed directory of remote locations, and provide tight security around the distribution of that information.
Encryption & User Authentication
Built directly into SecureAgent are two key security features that are implemented when remote connections are requested:
- Encryption is applied to all data transfer at extensive levels.
- User Authentication must occur before the connection will be established. This requires the user to enter a unique ID and password, which must be approved by the target machine. As part of a patent-pending logon procedure, user combinations are REVOCABLE by a remote administrator.
One type of authentication is a fixed combination that must be validated. This requires both a user ID and password, which have been registered with SecureAgent on the target machine, to be confirmed on the target machine before the request for connection is honored.
NOTE: Both userID and password may be locally, or remotely, changed by an administrator at any time.
ServiceVision connections also may be established with an expanded level of security - specifically a user ID and password are dynamically generated by a third-party control center. The combination is then registered with SecureAgent on the target machine, transparently issued to the user, and revocable once the connection is broken. Once the connection request is made, and access permission is validated by SecureAgent at the target site, the connection is established. When the connection is broken, the user ID/password can be immediately and automatically modified, disabled or removed altogether - thereby, protecting the system from unauthorized remote use. In addition, all ID/password combinations are encrypted and NEVER travel the same TCP/IP network path used for connection.
Secure Programs
SecureAgent also sells programs that utilize our own industry standard OCX controls (perfect for use with any language that supports 32-bit, such as Microsoft® Visual Basic®, Visual C++, and Delphi Pascal):
- Secure File Manager -- Designed to provide a way to transfer files from one machine to another over a secure connection, and offer verification that transfer was successful. The File Transfer program (and all other SecureAgent programs) requires the user to provide an ID name and password that is checked for validation on the server side.
- Secure TelNet -- Allows you to establish a secure connection to a SecureAgent server and browse its directories and files. From your remote location, you may also enter DOS commands that will be carried out on the server as if they were being entered locally.
- Secure Name Service (SNS) -- This program was originally designed to work in conjunction with a SecureAgent Name Server, allowing the reporting and retrieving of IP addresses used in establishing remote connections. It has since been enhanced to graphically display all users that have access permission (color-coded by age since their last connection to the server) and their operating status.
- Remote Control of an NT® Server -- At the heart of SecureAgent's functionality is the Remote Control program, which allows an administrator to remotely connect to a SecureAgent Server, establish user access permissions and privileges, change passwords, force disconnect users, view and modify settings and statistics for the server, even stop and restart it.
