Authentify™ Uses Microsoft Windows DNA For Real-Time Web Identity Verification
Emerging Provider of Internet Identity Confirmation Services Deploys Microsoft Windows DNA to Power Authentication Platform
CHICAGO - July 14, 2000 - Authentify, Inc., an emerging provider of software and services that confirm the identity of Web users, today announced that the Microsoft Windows DNA platform will serve as a key infrastructure component for hosting the delivery of its Authentify|Register™ service. Authentify|Register will enable businesses to outsource the authentication of Web site users' identities in order to establish trusted online relationships -- in real time. Authentify™ is taking advantage of the Windows DNA architecture by using SQL Server to build an advanced audit system. The Authentify|Register service accesses its audit data via the powerful services the Windows 2000 platform provides with Microsoft Message Queuing (MSMQ) and Internet Information Services (IIS).
"Authentify has developed a valuable and necessary e-commerce service for the real-time verification of a Web user's identity by employing Microsoft technology," said Dwight Krossa, marketing director at Microsoft Corp. "Windows DNA provides the scalability and flexibility necessary to support the transaction-intensive Authentify|Register service."
"The Authentify|Register service will process a large volume of verification requests and transactions on a daily basis, which will generate a constant stream of audit data," said Andy Rolfe, vice president of development, Authentify, Inc. "Microsoft Windows DNA provides a robust, scalable and extensible platform that integrates seamlessly with our underlying infrastructure and can meet our throughput requirements."
Authentify|Register is a new and soon-to-be-announced authentication service that allows enterprises and service providers to outsource the process of confirming a user's identity over the Internet. This process provides both an identity-theft-resistant verification and also a "jury-ready" audit mechanism for any individual electronic transaction.
