NTT connection???

These articles loose a lot in translation. Insight has a June PR announcing a TPM. Any relationship to NTT's Hotspot? Insight International was listed as a private company. Now appears to be a subsidiary of Nippon-RAD.

Announcing the TPM correspondence of INS-Sentinella-1X
　
In sight international corporation (or less in sight, head office: Representative President Tokyo: Yamato happiness one), TPM (Trusted Platform Module * 1) 802.1x [sapurikantosohutouea] which corresponds * 2 “TPM plug in for Sentinella” we announced that release it does on 2006 June 30th. TPM support plug in is the plug in module which adds TPM corresponding performance to 802.1x “INS-Sentinella-1X” which the same company sells. TPM plug in former INS-Sentinella -1X in the base, encodes the certificate which is utilized in certification with TPM, the PFX file * it is the solution for the wire/wireless LAN certification which actualizes more secure protection of 3. In addition with TPM support plug in, by utilizing the hardware based random number formation function where everything TPM has the random number which “INS-Sentinella-1X” forms, Takasina rank it reaches the point where you can obtain random number.

“TPM plug in for Sentinella”
The certificate which is utilized in EAP-TLS (PKCS#12 type, the PFX file) to encode with TPM, safely storage
Correspondence TPM: After TCG 1.1b
Correspondence OS: After Windows2000 SP2, Windows XP Home and Pro

Correspondence INS-Sentinella-1X itself program: After the INS-Sentinella-1X version 2.1
Offer start time: 2006 June 30th release schedule

* 1 TPM
It is IC tip/chip because Trusted Computing Group decides, actualizes the security environment of the next generation. At today, it is adopted for many notebooks PC. As main function, the signature with the formation and safe storage and the RSA secret key of the RSA secret key and the hash due to encoding, decoding and SHA-1 (summary function) there is operation and justifiability verification etc of the platform.

* 2 802.1x [sapurikantosohutouea]
Because the certification which conforms to IEEE802.1X is actualized, it is the necessary software on client side. Just the user which connection is permitted can receive service. It cannot participate in network the user which does not succeed in certification.

* 3 PFX files
One of type of certificate file. It consists of the certificate and the secret key. With PKCS#12, these elements it is protected by the password.

Topic 1: When HDD is pulled out, when it is possible to receive certification by the fact that HDD is transplanted to other PC the password is analyzed, it is illegitimately accessed in network.

Topic 2: The certificate (PKCS#12 type), it is protected only with the pass phrase.

The security improvement with TPM

Solution: With other TPM loading PC, it is not possible to do network certification.

Improvement: The certificate with encoding the hardware base, compared to firmly protection.

furthermore conveniently…

By retaining the certificate which is protected with TPM in external storage other than local HDD, [sumatokado] like security cheaply actualization. The private token and special application are unnecessary.

About “INS-Sentinella-1X”

It is for 802.1x which in sight international corporation sells. Colorful certification protocol (MD5, TLS, PEAP and TTLS) it supports, it is intuitively know and it has GUI which is easy to know. Including the major public wireless LAN service provider, it is the software which has the result which has been adopted for many customers.

With in sight international, for installed use we are inserting also the development of INS-Sentinella-1X of version in range of vision in addition to the latest TPM correspondence, it is the schedule which keeps offering TPM and vis-a-vis all nodes to which the INS-Sentinella-1X family includes WindowsPC, needs equipment certification and user identification.

About in sight international corporation

In sight international corporation was established Tokyo in 1984 as the head office. Introduction to the Japanese market of the American venture enterprise product and development of various software are designated as main business mainly. Although development of the firmware and the driver has become central business mainly the fact that connectivity section of the American Phoenix technologies corporation flows together to 2002 as an opportunity, development agency right of the WaveSystems corporation which is the TPM application development company in 2004 was acquired, the business operations regarding TPM were started. From the past regarding the installed field which this corporation makes proud, we have expanded the demand for TPM. We think the thing which reaches the point where more and more it can utilize two strengths of our company in the future with “installed use” and the fact that the crossover “of TPM” advances.

You adopt for the client software for user identification of Windows correspondence security software “Sentinella-1X Client” NTT communication “hot spot” service

Corporation [seta] (head office: The for client who the Tokyo Koto Ku daybreak 3-1-25 the daybreak frontier building B ridge, Representative President Nonaka Makoto 之, following [seta] and inscription), started sale from last year security product group “Sentinella” as a first feature product of the series, conforms to” IEEE802.1X” it is the software, “Sentinella-1X Client”] it is, the [chi] x client), the n [tei] & [tei] communication corporation (the head office: We announce that it is adopted happiness town 1 Chome 1 - 6 inside the Tokyo Chiyoda Ku, Representative President Suzuki Masashi Makoto, following NTT communication and inscription) as the client software for user identification of wireless LAN access service “hot spot” business which is offered.

It continues to expand the wireless LAN market, rapidly with the cost reduction of the product which advances after 2000 suddenly and the increase of entry enterprise. Opening from the movement restriction with wireless conversion, with being able to accept to the user the big merit which is said advances, of course thing, also acceleration correspondence at private area such as home and inside enterprise not only as below, NTT communication offers, we have started spreading steadily the public like “hot spot service” as below, it reached the point where even socially important role is carried out.

But when it compares to wire network, it unites also the aspect where it is communication below also radio system peculiar security risk exists, includes danger for the user. [seta] developed as for “Sentinella-1X Client”, coped with the vulnerability of these wireless LANs is new security standard individually and it is the software for the client which designates [sapurikanto] which conforms to” IEEE802.1X” as the core. It is possible to construct firm security and the wireless LAN environment which has soft operability by such as access point utilizing, combining with the other 802.1X corresponding product and certification server,

This time NTT communication in order that safer wireless LAN access is offered at the time of “hot spot” servicing, introduced IEEE802.1X certification, furthermore to strengthen the security of radio section. Sentinella-1X Client the license it offered [seta] to the same company, “hot spot” private client software “Sentinella-1X for Hotspot” ([senteinetsura] was and it came to the point of being distributed to the user the [chi] x four hot spot) as via “the hot spot” home page.

As for the user which utilizes this service, it becomes possible to defend from security risk such as illegality utilization and wiretap by installing Sentinella-1X for Hotspot which is downloaded from the same sight to stock Windows PC.
Furthermore Sentinella-1X Client of the original product is in the same way utilization with “of the hot spot” possible.

By the fact that secure wireless LAN access environment is offered, Sentinella-1X in the user of hot spot service, supports safe network communication.
