Application-layer security gateway that meets FIPS 140-2 requirements for large-scale networked environments

Secure Information Sharing Solutions for IP-based Networks

AEP SmartGate is an identity-based access management security product designed for rapid deployment of large-scale, distributed, information-sharing environments. SmartGate, a FIPS 140-2 certified solution, enables organizations to securely exchange information with employees, customers and business partners over any IP-based infrastructure. Advanced features enable federated identity, strong authentication and control of access privileges across trusted organizations.

Key Capabilities

SmartGate software allows organizations to rapidly deploy an application gateway security solution capable of supporting thousands of simultaneous users, while meeting the most stringent security requirements in use today through 256-bit AES encryption.

• Delivers a framework for data encryption, access control, strong user authentication, and audit logging
• Fine-grained access controls secure access to specific TCP/IP based applications and internal resources, SSL encryption
• All traffic routed to a single port proxy that hides network topology and prevents direct connection to target resources
• Software architecture allows separation of proxy server, identity and encryption modules for maximum flexibility and performance
• Scalability to more than 100,000 users, proven in real-world implementations
• Integrated 2-Factor FIPS 140-2 -compliant software token
• Geographical separation and redundancy for high availability and continuity of operations
• Works over any IP networking infrastructure – terrestrial, wireless, Internet, IPSec VPN, Frame Relay and satellite
• PKI-enable TCP/IP applications without modification
• Patented on-line registration expedites user identity and activates credentials
• Built on patented application-layer SSL VPN technology
• Integrates easily within enterprise-wide security framework
Government Grade Security
• FIPS 140-2-validated solution: All cryptographic elements of the server software (not just subcomponents) are FIPS 140-2 validated
• Integrated FIPS 140 validated software token for strong, 2-factor user authentication
• End-to-end 256-bit AES encryption using dynamic session keys
