As enterprises are moving their IT infrastructure towards the cloud, they are facing constant security challenges in managing user identity while protecting their privacy. The use of username/password based identity is conceptually insecure and vulnerable to break-ins. IDentia is an extensible identity and access control management solution developed by D-Tech, LLC. It combines the PKI technologies with the latest internet identity protocols (i.e. OpenID and OAuth) to enable highly secure transactions, with maximum protection of users’ identity and privacy.

sing a PKI-based strong authentication, the product provides the highest level of identity trust and is able to support highly secure transactions. In addition, it also provide attribute-based access control (ABAC) capabilities integrated with enterprise directory services (e.g. LDAP) in support of cross-domain security in an extended enterprise. Designed to be an integral part of an enterprise security infrastructure, IDentia supports federated identity management in a cloud environment, with a minimum barrier of entry. We believe we are well positioned in the new cloud security market. With a solid engineering team and a patent-pending product, we are seeking additional funding to boost our product development, marketing and sales effort, in meeting the real cloud security challenge.
