TrustBroker Products

What is TrustBroker?

A family of security products, which use standards-based protocols and cryptography, to provide strong authentication and deliver many security benefits to critical business applications. In particular, the products include a high performance, scalable, robust, and 100% IETF RFC 4120 compliant implementation of the Kerberos protocol (not based on open source code). This implementation of the Kerberos protocol has been designed specifically to support the needs of our customers, where the protocol is being used by critical business applications. The use of Kerberos allows the products to take advantage of an existing Microsoft Active Directory infrastructure for strong authentication and encryption key management.

Features and benefits

The products are designed to deliver authentication and security to mission critical business applications. They deliver an impressive array of features and benefits, including:
