WINMAGIC’S SECUREDOC 3.8: THE FIRST DISK ENCRYPTION SOFTWARE
SOLUTION TO PASS THE DEFENSE INFORMATION SYSTEMS AGENCY’S (DISA) JOINT
INTEROPERABILITY TEST COMMAND (JITC)
SecureDoc Full-Disk Encryption Solution Now Certified To
Integrate With The Department Of Defense’s JITC-Issued Public Key Infrastructure
Software Certificates
Mississauga, Ontario, February 14, 2005 - WinMagic Inc. (www.winmagic.com),
the innovative leader in full disk encryption solutions is proud to announce
that SecureDoc Version 3.8 is the first encryption solution to pass the Defense
Information Systems Agency’s (DISA) Joint Interoperability Test Command (JITC).
“WinMagic is very honoured that SecureDoc is the first full-disk encryption
solution to pass DISA’s Joint Interoperability Test Command,” said Thi
Nguyen-Huu, CEO, WinMagic. “This is SecureDoc’s latest in a long list of
high-profile achievements that confirm WinMagic’s leadership position in the
encryption space which include being the first product to seamlessly integrate
with the US Department of Defense’s (DOD’s) Common Access Card (CAC) at
boot-logon and being the first product to leverage the DOD’s certificate and
Public Key Infrastructure.”
DISA rigorously tested SecureDoc 3.8’s capability to properly use the DOD PKI
software certificates issued from the JITC PKI Test Certificate Authority
servers and CACs certificates. The test also closely examined the accuracy of
the methods SecureDoc 3.8 uses to communicate with the DOD PKI. JITC introduced
valid, invalid, revoked, and expired certificates to comprehensively determine
if SecureDoc 3.8 complies with the DOD (PKE) Application Testing Laboratory
using the JITC Department of Defense Public Key Infrastructure Interoperability
Master Test Plan, version 1.2, and SecureDoc successfully passed each test with
flying colors.
“WinMagic has always strived to bring market-first functionality to the security
market,” said Jim Armstrong, National Account Manager, WinMagic. “This latest
certification is yet another example of SecureDoc’s unmatched ongoing commitment
to US government agencies.”
