The Internet functions by trafficking data packets across a multitude of communications nodes across the globe. Threats to distributed applications originate in these nodes as these are vulnerable to unauthorised and malicious access in the form of data interception, disruption of operations and the generation of fraudulent input.

Increasingly, businesses that involve transmitting sensitive data such as online financial transactions are under attack from security risks in a distributed world. Ergo, data and communications confidentiality must be guaranteed 24/7 in the telecommunications age.

Security infrastructure to counter online hazards includes access authorisation mechanisms, encryption standards, and certification protocols. Eon Technologies deploys the security frameworks/ technologies mentioned below in its solution architectures:

Platform Security
To develop and execute mission-critical applications, Eon Technologies ensures safe and secure platform environment for its customers. With the help of Compile-time data type checking and automatic memory management, we ensure a more robust code and reduced memory corruption and other vulnerabilities.

Cryptography
Comprehensive API with support for a wide range of cryptographic services including digital signatures, message digests, ciphers (symmetric, asymmetric, stream & block), message authentication codes, key generators and key factories. Support for a wide range of standard algorithms including RSA, DSA, AES, Triple DES, SHA, PKCS#5, RC2, and RC4.

LDAP
LDAP (Lightweight Directory Access Protocol) is used to look up encryption certificates, pointers to printers and other similar services on a network. This provides "single sign-in" facility to the user where a user can use single password to access multiple services. LDAP is appropriate for any kind of directory-like information, where there are no frequent lookups and updates.

We use LDAP for single username and password authentication that allows the user to access various intranet applications available.

Currently we are working to develop a LDAP application to authenticate Bankflex Mac users (admin module for channel solutions). By using LDAP, user's privileges on system are determined to provide the scope of accessibility to the application. Use of LDAP will make our product/applications more robust and secure.

Authentication and Access Control
Enables single sign-in of multiple authentication mechanisms and fine-grained access to resources based on the identity of the user or code signer.

Secure Communications
Transport Layer Security (TLS), Secure Sockets Layer (SSL), Kerberos (accessible through GSS-API), and the Simple Authentication and Security Layer (SASL). Full support for HTTPS over SSL/TLS is also included.

Public Key Infrastructure (PKI)
Using advanced tools for managing keys and certificates, we enable easy development and deployment of complex PKI applications.

Two-factor Authentication
Our solutions are compatible with security products of world’s leading security solution providers, like RSA SecurID® two-factor authentication.
