We’d like to inform you that an updated version of the SafeNet Authentication Service Agent for Windows Logon version 2.0 is now available for download from the Gemalto Service Portal (DOW4609).

This updated version resolves several issues and supports the following enhancements and new features:

New Features and Enhancements

• Push Authentication - Supports Push OTP when working with MobilePASS+.

• ADMX Support - Supports the use of ADMX files for defining the Administrative Template policy settings in the Windows Group Policy tools.

• Active Directory Search - Performance of the Active Directory Search feature has been enhanced.

• Proxy Server Settings - Proxy Server settings can now be configured in the Configuration Management interface.

• Gemalto Branding - The user interface has been redesigned with Gemalto branding.

SafeNet Authentication Service Agent for Windows Logon version 2.0 is compatible with SafeNet Authentication Service Cloud and SafeNet Authentication Service PCE/SPE version 3.4 and later.

Today sees two launches: Ezio Mobile Protector v4.2 and FaceID – which is included in Ezio Mobile Protector v4.2, and can even be bought as a standalone product.

Users of this new version benefit from FaceID, and are therefore free to choose the authentication method they prefer – PIN, fingerprint or facial recognition – while maintaining the high security brought by Ezio Mobile.

But that’s not all. Ezio Mobile Protector now provides even greater security on iOS! In fact, if the stored fingerprint changes in any way, the application (on iOS) can detect this – and ask the user to enroll again, if appropriate.

You can check out the updated web page and stay tuned for some fun videos coming soon!

SafeNet KeySecure 8.5 Featuring Improved Key Management and Support for High-Capacity Cloud Infrastructures

We are pleased to announce the GA release of SafeNet KeySecure 8.5, with the following new features: 

Scheduled Key Rotation: This feature helps you to schedule the rotation of versioned keys monthly or weekly that exist on the SafeNet KeySecure. You can now perform scheduled, unattended key rotation and ensure your new version key is properly propagated in a cluster environment.  The latest version of the rotated keys will be always in the active state. You can schedule to rotate all the keys or you can also tailor your query in the Query Keys, to filter the keys at any point of time. 

KMIP Encrypt / Decrypt Operation:  This operation requests the server to perform an encryption / decryption operation on the provided data using a Managed Cryptographic Object as the key for the encryption / decryption operation. 

AWS HVM Support: SafeNet KeySecure is now based on a Hardware Virtual Machine (HVM) instead of a Paravirtual (PV) on Amazon Web Services (AWS).This provides SafeNet Virtual KeySecure customers with the ability to run on more AMI environments. Watch for SafeNet Virtual KeySecure 8.5 on AWS Marketplace later this month.
