Voltage Security Announces Alliance with NeuStar to Provide High Assurance Managed Security Services

Identity-Based Encryption Technology and Proven Network Identity Service Combine to Enable a New Class of Identity-Driven Security

Palo Alto, CA., July 8, 2003--Voltage Security, Inc., a new information security software company, today announced an alliance with NeuStar, Inc., the leading neutral third party provider of mission-critical network identity clearinghouse services, to provide a fully integrated managed security service. Based on Voltage's breakthrough cryptography technology, Identity-Based Encryption (IBE), and NeuStar's network identity clearinghouse suite of services, NeuLiberty, the new service will provide enterprise and mid-market customers with turn-key high assurance managed security services.

With the Voltage Security platform, customers can protect business communication by using identities such as a well-known email, phone number or IP address, instead of the pre-generated, cumbersome public-private key pairs and digital certificates required in existing solutions. Technical details of IBE are provided in a white paper entitled Identity-Based Encryption from the Weil Pairing, by Dr. Dan Boneh of Stanford University and Dr. Matthew Franklin of the University of California at Davis and a member of the Voltage Security Advisory Board, at www.voltage.com.

We are able to offer our customers a fully managed security service by partnering with NeuStar, a company that offers and enables proven turn-key usage-based clearinghouse services for identity information exchange. This is a great foundation for expanding our partnership to encompass additional managed service offerings, said Sathvik Krishnamurthy, president and CEO of Voltage.

We are excited about the opportunity to work with Voltage. Together, we will enable the deployment of new highly differentiated applications for secure communication, using the Voltage Security platform and NeuStar's NeuLiberty suite of services, said Mark Foster, Senior Vice President and Chief Technology Officer, NeuStar.

Integrated Services to be Offered

Voltage and NeuStar will offer a fully integrated managed service. The Voltage Security platform offers the following benefits:

  • Secure anytime, anywhere communication. Users can encrypt and decrypt communication and information, online and offline, anywhere in the world with transparent roaming.
  • Self-provisioning. No pre-enrollment of recipients is needed to send secure ad hoc communication, unlike existing solutions.
  • Ease-of-use. Users can transparently send and receive secure communication without changing their day-to-day behavior.
  • Ease-of-administration. The Voltage Security platform can be quickly implemented and centrally administered. No complicated archive solutions are required for keys or messages to ensure business continuity.
  • Low total-cost-of ownership (TCO). By leveraging well-known identities, such as an email address, the Voltage Security platform reduces complex infrastructure thus reducing overall costs.
