Ensure's
XyLoc is a robust personalization and security application
that will showcase Bluetooth technology. As more Bluetooth
devices come to market, security will become essential to
protect these devices from unauthorized access. Using XyLoc's
patented technology, network managers can easily load and
manage digital certificates on any Bluetooth PC, phone
or PDA, which will add powerful security features to Bluetooth
devices and appliances. XyLoc will allow Bluetooth
devices to positively recognize and identify authorized users
and make Bluetooth phones and PDAs more convenient
to use.
Bluetooth
(www.bluetooth.com)
is a group founded in 1998 by Ericsson, IBM, Intel, Nokia
and Toshiba to create a global specification for short-range,
wireless connectivity. Bluetooth SIG has grown to over
1,200 members, recently adding Microsoft, 3COM, Compaq, Dell,
Hewlett-Packard, Lucent, Motorola, Philips, Samsung, Siemens
and Texas Instruments. The Bluetooth wireless transmission
standard provides an inexpensive way to link different wireless
devices and enable them to interoperate. The Bluetooth
wireless radio is being built into many devices and information
appliances such as mobile phones (WAP-enabled and others),
PDAs, PCs and others.
XyLoc
is a patented, centrally managed, automatic computer security
solution that prevents unauthorized access to confidential
PC-based information, and simultaneously makes access to network
services and applications more convenient for authorized employees.
XyLoc's full-time access control technology protects sensitive
data when it is most vulnerable - after logon, when the authorized
user - for whatever reason - steps away from the PC.
Suited
for professionals who need easy, yet secure, access to information
"on the fly," XyLoc is proximity-activated and completely
"hands-free," requiring no user interaction. Because it enables
the computer to know automatically and effortlessly who is
requesting access to its resources, XyLoc offers security
features and flexibility previously unavailable. XyLoc also
simplifies public key infrastructure (PKI) implementations
and protects digital certificates stored on PCs increasing
the security of e-commerce transactions.
