Comodo
launches Vengine™ embedded [May 24, 2005]
The
Establishing Trust™ initiative makes CVC™
technology freely available to security providers worldwide,
spawning an army of anti-phishing tools for consumers
New York, 24th May 2005. The worlds 2nd largest, fastest
growing High Assurance Certification Authority Comodo
today made patent pending anti-phishing and identity
assurance technology freely available to toolbar providers
and security solutions providers worldwide.
"By creating an army of tools and
solutions to help fight against all forms of web based
identity theft, Comodo is leading the way in Establishing
Trust on the Internet", said Melih Abdulhayoglu,
President, CEO and Chief Security Architect for the
Comodo Group.
With DNS Poisoning, Phishing, Pharming
still growing at an alarming rate the ability to verify
web page content, securely and effectively remains the
primary goal for all web site owners. Deploying CVCs
on key pages where 'trust and assurance of content'
is essential (e.g. Home Pages, Account Login Pages etc)
affords consumers protection now and into the future.
Developed and tested by Comodo's global Research and
Development operations the CVC architecture is not too
dissimilar to the highly successful and extensively
proven SSL based e-commerce framework used today by
many e-commerce providers. However, where the SSL model
of trust underpins the framework of the Internet, CVCs
provide trust in the actual content flowing across that
framework.
"The theory behind Content Verification
Certificates became one of the most anticipated technological
breakthroughs in security on the Internet in recent
years" comments Steve Roylance, Vice President
of Global Technical Marketing for Comodo "What
we've effectively achieved is to transfer the success
of the hologram for identity assurance on to the Internet,
allowing providers large and small a method to establish
trust with their customers."
Available as an extension to Internet
Explorer, the Verification Engine (Vengine™) stand
alone product meshes perfectly with 3rd party tool bars
such as the eBay, Alexa and Google toolbars assuring
the validity of the toolbar and protecting the user
against potential graphical replacements of the toolbar.
Adding additional value, in being able to securely display
trusted content, also allows for the creation of an
incremental recurring revenue stream for the partner
embedding the technology.
