| A Biometrics based authentication server development for a high-technology start-up |
| |
 |
| |
| The client |
| The client is a next generation provider of network and protocol security. The company’s credo is to create new technologies that provide enhanced security and authentication while working with current hardware and network protocol configurations. |
| |
| The challenge |
The challenges posed by this project were very technical and intricate in nature. These involved
 |
To define and implement proprietary protocol to download user certificates |
 |
To evaluate and identify a proxy that can handle HTTP, SMTP, IMAP, POP3 protocols for secure email and web transactions |
 |
To cater for integration of the authentication server developed with existing directories containing standard user profiles |
 |
Also, to develop an administration module for user management, bio-token management and proxy-rule management |
|
| |
| The solution |
| Wipro catered to the customer’s needs by designing and developing an Authentication Server with the Digital Certificate Transfer Protocol (DCTP).
DCTP is a proprietary certificate management protocol to enable mobility of private digital certificates in a redundant and secure storage mechanism accessible only to an authenticated user of the bio-token. It also addresses all risks and issues associated with private-key storage and issues that hinder the use of certificates in real-world applications.
Wipro developed the authentication server that is part of bio-token authentication and communication security for strong user authentication. It works in conjunction with the bio-token hardware and bio-token Verification Algorithm. |

| Business benefits delivered |
 |
Reliable Solution delivery: Effective implementation and integration of Wipro’s Authentication Server with customer’s flagship product, ‘Mobio’, reduced product risk and accelerated time to market |
 |
Performance: Wipro’s developed authentication server optimizes the customer’s biometric services performance by directly improving production time and reducing operation expenses |
 |
Ease of deployment: the authentication server is cost effective to implement and easy to integrate with no infrastructure change. Also, as environment becomes more complex, it provides a security infrastructure that can grow to meet the needs of the environment |
 |
High level of quality: Wipro's strict adherence to ‘Quality Process’ enabled the team to deliver excellent service in terms of strong expertise, processes and infrastructure. |
