    2. E-Mail Systems Today E-mail is vital to most businesses today It is a convenient medium for direct communications with one or many people The lack of e-mail security makes e-mail less useful than it should be Sensitive data should NEVER be sent via plain e-mail Lack of authentication No way to know for sure who sent a message (origination information can easily be forged) No way to know for sure who receives a message Lack of confidentiality Messages are usually not encrypted User names and passwords are often sent in plain text Accounts can be hijacked Internal security threats are greatest threat of all Abuse of e-mail Viruses, spy ware, and other “malware” are often spread via e-mail, perpetrators are rarely caught Spam – need we say more? Very costly for businesses

    3. Secure E-Mail: Definition Authentication: Identity of sender authenticated (receiver knows for sure who sent the e-mail) Identities of receivers are authenticated (sender is assured only recipients can read the e-mail) Confidentiality: Contents of e-mail are encrypted en route and can only be decrypted by authorized receivers

    4. Requirements for Secure E-Mail Strong authentication (beyond passwords) Strong encryption Easy to use, non-obtrusive Leverage existing e-mail infrastructure Easy to administer Cost effective (hardware and software)

    5. Secure E-Mail Enabled by Biometric Technology Marriage of existing e-mail systems with biometric authentication Maturation of fingerprint biometric algorithms and software technology Availability of low-cost hardware Central administration Ubiquity of Internet access

    6. Biometrics Overview Factors of Authentication

    7. Biometrics Overview “Measurement of Life” Using a unique physical characteristic to authenticate a person’s identity Types: Behavioral (Signature, Voice, Keystroke analysis) Biological (Fingerprint, Face, Hand Geometry, Iris, DNA) Matching two samples requires complex analysis Computers make this analysis feasible and accurate

    8. Biometrics Overview Verification: Comparing a biometric sample with a known enrollment and determining if they match (physical access, logical access, authentication of identity). Often called 1:1 matching. For the “good guys”. Identification: Finding one or more matches of a sample within a large population (law enforcement, voter vetting, border control). Often called 1:n matching. For the “bad guys”. Requires large databases, powerful hardware, and complex algorithms. False match: When the system matches a sample with an enrollment that should not have matched (imposter). Should be very low (one in millions), especially for verification-based systems. False reject: When the system does not match a sample with an enrollment that should have matched. Should be reasonably low to maximize usability. In identification systems, should be very low to catch imposters.

    9. Secure Messaging Biometric Authentication (Sender and receivers) Encryption/Decryption Cybertext = f (plaintext, key) Plaintext = f (cybertext, key)

    10. SafeLive SendItSecure Architecture

    11. Architecture Components SafeLive SendItSecure Server: Manages organizations, users, fingerprint enrollments, and message encryption keys. Authenticates message transactions. SafeLive SendItSecure Client: Interfaces with fingerprint readers, Provides editing and viewing screens, setup screens, etc., Integrates with MS Outlook, Encrypts/decrypts messages. E-Mail Server: Relays standard e-mails.

    12. SendItSecure Features Easy to install and use (10 minute install/enroll) Integrates with Microsoft Outlook Strong encryption Fast, highly discriminating biometric algorithm Reader-independent (dozens of models supported) Message sender controls who can read a message Message receivers know the identity of sender (non-repudiation) No additional infrastructure to install Hosted service on hardened server with failover

    13. More Features Messages never exist in unencrypted state (desktop to desktop security) Any e-mail client will work, even web-based If e-mail account is compromised, secured messages cannot be viewed Central administration and reports are accessed through a biometrically protected web site Can send to anyone (even those without a fingerprint reader) using secure “message pickup” feature Support for very large attachments (> 2 GB) Application integration is available to add secure messaging to your application Supports most popular fingerprint readers

    14. Applications Transmittal of sensitive company documents and messages Employees working from remote locations (telecommuting, travel) Communications with suppliers and partners Improved customer service

    15. Implementing SafeLive SendItSecure SafeLive SendItSecure Server: Hosted at DCS Netlink data center Client: Simple setup program + reader Enrollment: Administrator pre-enrolls users. Users invoke SendItSecure client to submit fingerprint templates along with a unique registration code.

    16. Pricing Price/user dependent on organization size (~$44 to $80/user/year) Readers: $30 to $90 (one time cost) Integration toolkit for your applications is available
