DoD CAC/PIV Card

SecureDoc accommodates a wide variety of security policies related to user authentication. With this kind of flexibility, SecureDoc supports single and multi-factor pre-boot authentication including password, smartcard, USB token, biometrics, the Trusted Platform Module (TPM) and PKI.

When it comes to the US government sector, WinMagic responds to US federal government standards relating to FIPS 201 by supporting Personal Identity Verification (PIV) cards held by US federal employees and contractors; and DoD’s Common Access Cards (CAC) held by active duty military personnel, reserve personnel, civilian employees, non-DoD other government employees, State Employees of the National Guard, and eligible contractor personnel.

In dealing with the heterogeneous IT environment of agencies and departments, SecureDoc for Windows and SecureDoc for Mac both support these specific cards in the pre-boot environment as forms of end-user authentication to laptops and workstations.

Given our extensive experience in securing sensitive information in the government sector, including “Secret Level” data for the NSA, many examples can be referred to including the SecureDoc deployment at Department of State for a FIPS 201/ HSPD-21 compliant project with PKI smartcard and biometrics is the proof of our advanced technology.

The DoD CAC Card integrated with SecureDoc full-disk encryption software permits only authorized users to boot up their PCs or notebook computers authenticating and authorizing users for secure access to their encryption hard drives. WinMagic has completed the certification process with the Department of Defense for the CAC card interoperability with its SecureDoc full-hard disk encryption software.

The Personal Identity Verification (PIV) card allows Government employees and contractors to gain physical access to government resources. SecureDoc is already utilized by many U.S. government agencies, such as the National Security Agency and Homeland Security, and was recently selected for a pilot project with the U.S. Department of State aimed at integrating the Personal Identity Verification (PIV) card and biometrics with Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) and full-disk encryption.

Note that this is not the first time WinMagic's products are offered to the Department of Defense. Earlier versions of SecureDoc included a FORTEZZA based hard disk encryption, which uses (FORTEZZA) DoD PKI. The FORTEZZA SecureDoc version is certified by the NSA as the RASP Secure Media to protect up to SECRET data for US Government Agencies.

SecureDoc presently has FIPS 140 -2 Level 2, NIST AES accreditation (certification # 1), and Common Criteria EAL-4.

SecureDoc has been deployed WITH SMART CARD INTEGRATION throughout the United States Government including the State Department, DHS, IRS and other departments and has numerous accreditations including Common Criteria, FIPS 140-1 Level 2, DISA Public Key Enable certification with DOD CAC. WinMagic Inc. has completed the certification process with the Department of Defense for the CAC card interoperability with its SecureDoc full-disk encryption software. Products sent to be certified by the DoD must be enabled to take advantage of the services a PKI offers. Without enabled applications, the infrastructure holds little value. It is essential that applications become PKI enabled and utilize the infrastructure. SecureDoc was evaluated to ensure it is enabled correctly and securely, and is interoperable with the DOD PKI.

DoD Joint Interoperability Test Command (JITC) has completed testing this new product for interoperability with the DoD PKI, which provides certificates validation including CA signature check, revocation check through CRL or OCSP and other DoD requirements.
