Probaris upgrades identity registration authority software

Tuesday, November 1, 2011

Philadelphia-based identity software company Probaris has released an upgrade to its identity registration authority software. Called ID 4.0, it now supports multiple credential, token and device types, enabling configurable workflows for varying credential form factors.

Additional new features include the ability to audit and provide reporting for governance, risk management and compliance by identity type and industry requirements.


ID 4.0 is compliant with many Federal identity standards such as FIPS 201, PIV, PIV-I and related publications.

These software enhancements allow enterprises and government agencies to issue strong forms of identity like Level 4 Crypto, PIV and PIV-I. The product can issue identities to many form factors including smart phones. [end]

This update takes into account the SAFE Port Act, which requires foreign shippers to secure cargo being shipped to the U.S. and ensure the identity of those loading it. Shippers must manage this by 2013.
