The HighAssurance Remote client provides secure client-to-client or client-to-gateway communications over wireless LANs, TCP/IP networks, and dial-up connections

Based on the SafeNet de facto standard VPN software product, SoftRemote®, it offers numerous high-level security features not currently found in any other VPN software product.

Overview

HighAssurance™ Remote, VPN software that includes FIPS technology, device authentication, and the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) algorithm, is a groundbreaking stride supporting the nation's homeland security efforts.

FIPS 140-2, Level 1 and 2 certification is of particular importance since Level 1 allows the software and firmware components of a cryptographic module to be executed on a general purpose computing system using an unevaluated operating system. Security Level 2 requires, at a minimum, role-based authentication in which a cryptographic module authenticates the authorization of an operator to assume a specific role and perform a corresponding set of services.
