Armorlog International Limited announced that one of its Directors, Mr Louis Leahy, will present present the proof of concept software of a new, Australien Patent pending authentication technology, known as Variable Proprietary Character Set Multi-layered Login (VPCSML) at Worldcomp 2010. The Worldcomp Congress, hosted by The World Academy of Science, is the largest annual gathering of researchers in computer science, computer engineering and applied computing.
The Armorlog VPSML software is a server side solution to network fraud that ought to act independently of the limitations of user side based solutions. According to Armorlog this is particularly important as a large proportion of fraud is in-house with the perpetrator being known or close to the victim so a system needs to account for the fact that a users’ computer may be easily compromised by someone in a trusted position close to the victim.
The solution ought to protect network user access and defend networks against denial of service attacks. It is designed to prevent the user inadvertently revealing their logon credentials and will deter wilful sharing of credentials which will assist publishers to protect copyright losses from illegal sharing of login credentials. According to Armorlog the system can be used to prevent access to user logon credentials by phishing attacks, malware, keyboard logging, telephone scams, identity theft, device skimmers, shoulder browsers, password guessing programs and man in the middle attacks.
As it is a pure software solution, it can be adapted for use on a wide range of platforms and will run on most common operating systems. The product will assist in satisfying privacy requirements and will assist in a reduction in losses from fraud and increased user security. The Company has developed a standalone version of the software to run on the apache server configuration widely used on the internet an on many intranet solutions. Leahy insists the company has the design working and it provides a new dimension for network administrators to protect their users. (Source: Armorlog International Limited/GST)
