The StrongAuth KeyApplianceTM(SAKA), StrongKey's flagship product, has undergone a radical change in the 4.0 release. The SAKA 4.0 retains all the great features of the 3.0 release, but also adds significant new capability.
-
It updates all underlying components, such as the Java Virtual Machine (JVM), the relational database, the application server and cryptographic libraries to the latest releases. While this not only fixes many bugs, it also helps with regulatory compliance since residual vulnerabilities in previous releases are addressed in the newer components.
-
It replaces the standard BouncyCastle library with the latest BouncyCastle FIPS library. BC-FIPS is a Federal Information Processing Standards (FIPS) 140-2 level 1 certified module, which is used to perform all cryptography. To manage this, all cryptographic code has been collapsed into a single module in the code.
-
All public key cryptography has moved from RSA to Elliptic Curve Digital Signature Algorithm (ECDSA or just EC) cryptography.
-
Updates support from Trusted Platform Module (TPM) 1.2 to TPM 2.0. TPM 2.0 is a FIPS 140-2 Level 2 certified cryptographic module.
