Remote Access for HSPD-12 Compliance

Successful HSPD-12 Implementation Means
Much More than PIV Cards

Meeting the HSPD-12 directives means going far beyond the issuance of Personal Identification Verification (PIV) cards. Considering:

  • remote access
  • user revocation
  • interoperability with supporting
    systems, and
  • wireless data communications

can make or break the implementation.

Blue Ridge Networks is a recognized leader in two-factor public key infrastructure (PKI) in the government and commercial markets. With over 12 years of experience providing two-factor PKI authentication solutions to government agencies, Blue Ridge Networks is the only leading computer and network security company with no reported vulnerabilities. Our impenetrable solution, BorderGuard, is 100% compliant with HSPD-12 remote access requirements for PIV cards and has passed rigorous certification tests by NIST, JITC, Common Criteria, DoD, and others.

These credentials, along with our active involvement with NIST and our ongoing relationship with a diverse group of federal agencies, have enabled us to develop solutions that offer the best value in securing your organization under HSPD-12 remote access requirements.

Active Directory Single Sign-on

An important consideration in your HSPD-12 implementation is how the system integrates with Active Directory. Blue Ridge Networks offers the only remote access capability that operates with Active Directory today—and without expensive hardware upgrades.

BorderGuard automatically integrates with Active Directory to provide:

  • Unified, single sign-on
  • Remote access local control through Red List and Green List
  • True Active Directory cryptographic logon—Kerberos ticket received on the remote access client
  • Active Directory logging of all remote access users
