ORMOND BEACH, Fla.and RESTON,Va., June 01, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) In a release issued today byHealth Information Sharing and Analysis Center and SAFE Identity under the headline Health Information and Sharing Center (H-ISAC) partners with SAFE Identity to help health sector members safeguard their healthcare identities and data, please note the references to H-ISAC as Health Information and Sharing Center andHealth Information Security and Analysis Center were incorrect. The corrected release follows:

Health Information Sharing and Analysis Center (H-ISAC) partners with SAFE Identity to help health sector members safeguard their healthcare identities and data

Health Information Sharing and Analysis Center (H-ISAC), a global non-profit organizationthat providesthe health sectora trusted community for combating cyber and physical threats, today announced that the organization has agreed to partner with SAFE Identity, formerly known as SAFE-BioPharma, an industry consortium and certification body supporting identity and cryptography in healthcare. As part of this agreement, H-ISAC members are able to take advantage of SAFE Identity programs at a reduced rate.

Identity is the leading cause of breaches today but many health care organizations dont understand why securing identity is so important, or where to get started, said Denise Anderson, President and CEO of H-ISAC. Last fall, H-ISAC launched an initiative to educate the health care community on this topic and equip CISOs with tools to better approach the challenges of Identity and Access Management (IAM). H-ISACs partnership with SAFE is one element of this broader identity initiative.

Defining common requirements for identity providers that align with Digital Identity Guidelines (SP 800-63-3) and certifying identity providers against these requirements is how SAFE is supporting a strong interoperable identity in healthcare. The re-envisioning of SAFE-BioPharma and the new SAFE Identity services are further explored in the recent SAFE Identity press release.

With the renewed SAFE Identity partnership, H-ISAC members can join the SAFE Policy Management Authority (PMA), the governing body of the SAFE Identity Trust Framework, to vote on identity policies, join working groups aimed at helping healthcare organizations implement strong identity solutions, and address identity challenges faced across healthcare. As part of the partnership, H-ISAC members can federate their existing compatible identity credentials with SAFE to achieve cross-organizational trust or join the PMA as relying parties, both at discounted rates.

H-ISAC offers a portfolio of products and services that have been identified and developed specifically for health sector members. Strategic in nature, these low cost or no-cost solutions help member organizations to develop and maintain an effective, long-term defense. SAFE furthers these goals by brokering identity services to healthcare organizations including the ability to rely on the SAFE Identity infrastructure and to consult the SAFE Qualified Products List (QPL), a list of certified products that have been lab-tested at SAFE for compliance against industry and member-driven requirements, both at no cost.

We are eager to start putting the re-envisioned SAFE ecosystem into practice, said Kyle Neuman, the new managing director of SAFE Identity. Existing members can continue to utilize the ecosystem for the use cases and principles on which SAFE-BioPharma was founded while also taking advantage of the new capabilities SAFE is bringing to the table. As we examine the future, we look forward to advising H-ISAC on the principles necessary to leverage a federated infrastructure and start tackling the most pressing identity challenges in healthcare including TEFCA and health information exchange, identification of medical devices, blockchain technology, and achieving a true portable patient ID that can be used across healthcare.

About Health Information Sharing and Analysis Center (H-ISAC)Created in 2010, HealthInformationSharing and Analysis Center is recognized as the official ISAC for the healthsector. H-ISAC is a member-driven organizationthat offersthe sectora trusted community and forum for coordinating, collaborating, and sharing vital threat intelligence and best practices.Members are able to use this knowledgetostrengthen their defenses andminimize the effect of threat actorsaround the world.

About SAFE IdentitySAFE Identity provides an ecosystem for identity assurance in the health sector to enable trust, security, and user convenience. SAFE assures identities and data in virtual clinical trials, telehealth, medical devices, and trusted data exchanges in supply chains through free and membership-driven services. These services operationalize the use of SAFE Identity-certified credentials and applications tailored to healthcare organizations, partners, and patients.

A sea of private information is only accessible through an unbreakable lock that can only be opened by two fingerprints. Credit: 2019 Andrea Fratalocchi

Chaos could help put cyberhackers out of business with a patterned silicon chip that will be uncrackable even in the future.

Confidential dataincluding credit card transactions and sensitive material in governmental institutions and military agenciescan be better protected during information exchanges through public channels.

A team, led by Andrea Fratalocchi and Ph.D. student Valerio Mazzone with collaborating researchers in Scotland and a U.S. company, devised irreversibly modifiable silicon chips that emit chaotic light waves. The chips can make data encryption impossible to crack.

Typical security protocols combine short public and private keys to encode messages. These protocols are fast but easy to crack because, while private keys are only known by senders and/or recipients, public keys are accessible to everyone. Quantum mechanics-based schemes offer a more secure and reliable alternative to these protocols, but require more expensive and slower installations that are not scalable.

Withthe advent of faster andquantum computers allclassical schemes will be quickly broken, exposing the privacy ofour present and, more importantly, pastcommunications, explains Ph.D. student Valerio Mazzone. An attacker can juststore an encrypted message sent today and wait for the right technology to become available to decipher the communication.

The one-time pad has proven absolutely unbreakable. Its secrecy rests on a random, single-use private key that must be shared ahead of time between users. However, this key, which needs to be at least as long as the original message, remains difficult to produce randomly and to send securely.

Fratalocchis team has developed an approach to implement this encryption technique in existing classical optical networks using patterned silicon chips. The researchers patterned the chips with fingerprints to obtain fully chaotic scatterers that cause mixed light waves to travel in a random fashion through these networks. Any modification, even infinitesimal, of the chips generates a scattering structure that is completely uncorrelated to and different from any previous one. Therefore, each user can permanently change these structures after each communication, preventing an attacker from replicating the chips and accessing the exchanged information.

Moreover, these scatterers are in thermodynamic equilibrium with their environment. Consequently, an ideal attacker with an unlimited technological power and abilities to control the communication channel and access the system before or after the communication cannot copy any part of the system without reproducing the surroundings of the chips at the time of the communication.

Our new scheme is completely unbreakable regardless of the time or the resources available, today or tomorrow, Mazzone says.

The researchers are currently working on developing commercial applications of this discovery. Our team is looking for potential industrial partners and looking forward to implementing this system at the global scale. When this system is commercially released, all cyberhackerswill haveto lookfor another job. Fratalocchi concludes.

Patterned Optical Chips That Emit Chaotic Light Waves Keep Secrets Perfectly Safe - SciTechDaily

Shafi Goldwasser (New York, 1958) and Silvio Micali (Palermo, 1954) have spent a lifetime dedicated to mathematics, computing, and cryptography. They have solved impossible problems, have won the biggest awards, and have even founded their companies. I have decided to create mine because before waiting for someone else to realize that it can be done blockchain in a different way, I roll up my sleeves and do it myself. If not, nobody does it, says Micali.

Now they see how the main technological solution that is proposed to help against the pandemic digital contact tracking could use its cryptographic techniques invented years ago, but hardly anyone has tried yet. It is an example of how the implementation processes, also in the world of technology, are slower than it seems. I dont know exactly what the barrier is. To get into the hands of consumers you need a huge consensus from many parties, says Goldwasser. Its interesting why people start using something. Many things must align: necessity, that someone wants to market it and give it a push. Its not just that the math is there and that the technology can be built, but that someone really wants to do it, he adds. This pandemic may be a push to make those solutions more likely in the next.

Cryptography is essential in the functioning of the Internet: it serves to demonstrate that we are who we say we are or to ensure that no one other than its recipient reads our messages. Since the 1980s, Goldwasser and Micali have been working on methods to improve it. Their work jointly won them in 2012 the Turing Prize, the Nobel Prize in Informatics, and in 2018 the BBVA Foundation Frontiers of Knowledge Prize in new technologies. Their work has shown that the recurring drama between privacy and security has solutions that have not been studied until now. I believe in crypto because it can prevent us from being told, Guys, if you want to save yourselves you have to give up all privacy. Is not true. Cryptography allows us to continue living and that there is confidentiality, says Micali.

Micali has his theory as to why theoretical advances in technology take so long to come to practical use for consumers. What you learn in school and university is what you apply. If a computer scientist knows from university that there are tools that allow precision and privacy to be combined, when he becomes someone important he applies it. It takes a generation for new employees to know these things. It takes time, he says.

What can Goldwassers and Micalis theories do? Partially resolve the dilemma between privacy of citizens and security for all. We want to maintain privacy and we dont want to find information about you: where you were or at what time, explains Goldwasser. What we are looking for is some sign that, added, serves to know where people are becoming infected or where it is most likely to happen: on the street or indoors, in a large or small room. This cryptography allows calculations with lots of data without any participant seeing them, so privacy is assured.

This is important these days when governments across Europe and around the world are debating how technology can help track contacts with Bluetooth to find out if youve been around someone who tested positive for covid-19. In the version that best preserves privacy, notification of exposure is given only on the phone of citizens. It is then up to each person to decide whether to alert the health authorities. But the government has no idea how many possible new cases there are each day (it only knows the calls it receives) or how these contacts have occurred. This is the protocol that Apple and Google support with their technology.

There are countries that believe that this information is insufficient. In Europe, above all, France and the United Kingdom. Both seek solutions so that the Government knows more. But without using Apple and Google technology, it is much more difficult for mobile Bluetooth to work well. Cryptography could help: Is it possible to preserve privacy even if you centralize information? The answer is yes. Since the 1980s we have had this type of protocol. Then they were theoretical but now they are practical. It can be done, says Goldwasser.

Goldwasser recently used the metaphor of a puzzle piece in a video conference in Berkeley: If you have a piece of the puzzle and it is well cut, it doesnt reveal anything about the image, but if you put them all together, yes. The piece of the puzzle is the piece of data that you have, he says. If you can put them all together, you will have the result you are looking for without seeing the original data.

The method is to encrypt the individual data and send it to a public server. Without revealing anything, with these encrypted data you can do aggregate calculations, prepare statistics on where people get infected, what time of day, if it happens at home, in the office or on the street. It is not a complicated type of computing, the type of statistics is not complex, it can be done encrypted efficiently, says Goldwasser. The problem is that the coronavirus has come quickly and suddenly. Goldwasser has a company in Israel that is in contact with European governments to be able to do something like this. But it is difficult for it to have results soon. It can be used in more sectors. It must develop. Probably in months, sooner than we think. Someone has to see it, he says.

This type of technology has been used for money laundering, for example. Banks are reluctant to give out customer data to see if someone moves a lot of money between a lot of banks, but this type of encrypted collaboration is more viable. The same can happen with medical data.

Micali, for his part, proposes a app that defines the total number of contacts in the society. Its objective would be to measure whether with the different phases of lack of confinement the contacts between people grow rapidly: I open the beach. If the matches range from three on average to 200, I have to worry. Its not just about tracking. The poor government that wants to make a smart policy has the right to know how many encounters take place. But we dont know, he explains. And he adds: The app it has no pseudonyms, it has nothing. Only the number of encounters . It would therefore be completely private.

Micalis efforts are also aimed at cleaning up the good name of blockchain: The blockchain Traditional they are not, they are just called that. They sold something that is no longer sold, but now people want blockchain: Well, I erase the name and change it , he says. That makes blockchain Today is something laughable: It is a myth. There are two or three decentralized, the other 2,000, nothing, he says. As with cryptography for privacy, changes come slowly.

A 15-year-old identity framework originally designed for narrow use by pharmaceutical companies is being revamped and updated for broader use in healthcare, says Kyle Neuman, managing director of SAFE Identity, an industry consortium and certification body that's coordinating the project.

Eventually, the revamped SAFE-Biopharma Trust Framework could be used to enhance trusted identification for suppliers, medical devices, clinical trials and eventually patients, he explains in an interview with Information Security Media Group.

The framework was built to serve a specific purpose - provide a mechanism to create trusted digital identities that could be verified by the Food and Drug Administration for processes related to the submission of electronic documents by pharmaceutical companies, Neuman explains.

"The reason why this was important was because in the past, with paper submissions, [biopharma companies] would sign with ink their clinical trial drug submissions to the FDA, and when the FDA got it, it was legally binding," he says. "With electronic submissions, how do you know it comes from the source it claims to be coming from?"

The framework provided a cryptographic infrastructure so that the FDA knew "with a high degree of certainty who was submitting this document," he says.

When the SAFE-BioPharma Trust Framework was first introduced, "PKI was cutting edge," Neuman says. "But 15 years later, this technology has been pretty widely embraced by the world, and a lot of things have developed since then, but the SAFE-BioPharma Trust Framework remained mostly unchanged. So in order to leverage this for a modern healthcare use cases, a revamp and overhaul was necessary."

The goal of the revamp project, which is ongoing, is "to establish consistency of identity among all these many different identity providers," he says. "We have a series of progressive steps we'll be taking in healthcare," the first related to third-party suppliers, he notes.

In the interview (see audio link below photo), Neuman also discusses:

Neuman, a cryptography engineer, is managing director at industry consortium and certification body SAFE Identity, formerly SAFE-BioPharma Association. The group supports identity assurance and cryptography in the healthcare sector to enable trust, security and user convenience. Neuman also continues to develop technical standards for public-key cryptography, blockchain cryptography, key management and multifactor authentication.

This type of technology has been used for money laundering, for example. Banks are reluctant to give out customer data to see if someone moves a lot of money between a lot of banks, but this type of encrypted collaboration is more viable. The same can happen with medical data.

For its part, Micali proposes an app that defines the total number of contacts in society. Its objective would be to measure if, with the different phases of lack of confinement, the contacts between people grow rapidly: I open the beach. If the matches range from three on average to 200, I have to worry. Its not just about tracking. The poor government that wants to make a smart policy has the right to know how many encounters take place. But we dont know, he explains. And he adds: The app has no pseudonyms, it has nothing. Only the number of encounters . It would therefore be completely private.

Micalis efforts are also aimed at cleaning up the good name of blockchain: Traditional blockchains are not, they are just called that. I sold something that is no longer sold, but now people want blockchain: well, I erase the name and change it, he says. That makes blockchain somewhat laughable today: It is a myth. There are two or three decentralized, the other 2,000, nothing, he says. As with cryptography for privacy, changes come slowly.

Recently, platforms that trade bitcoin futures have recorded a record volume of open positions. But there is one group that is forbidden to trade contracts on various exchanges.

Due to the constant hype around Bitcoin, almost all Internet users already know that it appeared in 2009, and its creator was Satoshi Nakamoto a programmer. The assertion that he was the very first cryptocurrency has already become an axiom and it is even strange to think that in reality this may not be so at all.

It turns out that one of the very first pioneer candidates for the world of electronic currencies appeared in the Netherlands in the late 1980s. At that time, gas stations in the country suffered from constant night thefts. Instead of increasing the number of guards and risking the lives of people, the development team tried to combine money with newly developed smart cards each of us has a modern version of this technology in his wallet, turning into a bank card with a chip that has long become commonplace. To gain access to the services of a gas station, drivers were asked to use personal cards instead of cash. The problem was solved very elegantly customers could not fear for their lives, and gas stations saved on hiring security personnel.

The very idea of linking fiat money with electronic secure storage is vaguely reminiscent of the principle of bitcoin design. Yes, cryptography with such a solution was not at such a tricky level as it is now everything was simpler: without blockchain, decentralization and other cryptocurrency joys, but perhaps the Netherlands smart card is the great-grandfather of cryptocurrencies.

Around the same time, and perhaps a little earlier than the Dutch developers, the American cryptographer was experimenting with another form of electronic currency. He created a new type of money that strangers could exchange with each other with a high level of confidentiality and security. The basic concept of solution was based on the use of the blind signature system he developed protection against transaction tracking, based on the RSA encryption algorithm, which is still used on the Internet. Doesnt resemble anything?

Ideas were somewhat ahead of his time, because he decided to move from the USA to the Netherlands in the late 80s they were one of the most advanced countries in the world in the development and implementation of the latest technologies. There, he got a job at CWI, one of the leaders in cryptography and mathematical algorithms of those times, where he gained enough experience to open his own electronic currency development.

By the way, many other famous names in this area are associated with this development, for example, Nick Szabo a specialist in the field of cryptography from the USA, who formed the theoretical base of digital currencies, which became the basis for creating bitcoin.

It turned out to be such a revolutionary product that it caused an unprecedented wave of media attention. News of e-money technology spread throughout the world in a matter of months and she was even prophesied to take the place of VISA. The first payment through the new system was made in 1994. It is quite possible that the history of cryptocurrencies would have begun much earlier than 2009, if an unfortunate event had not intervened in the events of those times as a result of some oversights, seriously quarreled with the Central Bank of the Netherlands (DNB).

As a result of the protracted war, the parties reached a compromise, as a result of which digital electronic money technology was sold to the bank. And it seems like all this should have led to the introduction of new items in payment systems, but in life everything is not going so smoothly,

This was the difficult fate of the first potential cryptocurrency. However, nothing goes unnoticed ideas became the basis for the emergence movement. All modern cryptocurrencies are built on the basis of its solutions, and not only they the TOR anonymous network system, PayPal and many other services use the algorithms.

NEW YORK, May 27, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- On the heels of exiting stealth with $30 million in Series A funding from marquee investors and introducing a revolutionary, passwordless identity management solution, Beyond Identity today announced the formation of an all-star technical advisory board comprising the Father of SSL,” the co-inventor of public-key cryptography (PKC), and CISOs from two of America’s most successful companies, Koch Industries and Aflac. Dr. Taher Elgamal, Professor Dr. Martin Hellman, Jarrod Benson, and Timothy L. Callahan, respectively, have teamed to provide technical oversight to the newly launched passwordless identity management pioneer and offer strategic guidance on product and technology development.

Founded by Silicon Valley icons Jim Clark and Tom (TJ) Jermoluk, Beyond Identity is backed by Koch Disruptive Technologies, LLC (KDT) and New Enterprise Associates (NEA), both of which are also early customers. The company’s innovative solution leverages and extends inventions from Dr. Hellman and Dr. Elgamal to eliminate passwords. Beyond Identity replaces passwords with trusted certificates, originally defined in PKC and ubiquitously deployed within TLS (formerly SSL). This proven, secure, and scalable approach enables Beyond Identity to eliminate passwords, reduce risk for organizations, remove friction for end users, and offer consumers a much more secure alternative to password managers.

Passwords are the bane of everyone’s existence from consumers to the largest enterprises,” said Jermoluk, Co-Founder and CEO of Beyond Identity. And with a global virtual workforce more distributed than ever before, security and identity management have never been more critical. We are grateful for the invaluable contributions of an unprecedented team of advisers and look forward to further collaboration as we continue to evolve Beyond Identity.”

The Beyond Identity technical advisory board comprises:

Unlike other authentication methods and general security products, Beyond Identity increases both usability and security simultaneously. The company’s cloud-native platform provides a secure method of authenticating users and devices without passwords by using the same secure and scalable approach X.509 certificates that is already universally deployed with TLS and underpins trillions of dollars in online transactions annually. The solution creates a Chain of Trust that includes user and device identity and a real-time snapshot of a device’s security posture, all in an immutable package that is signed by a provably secure certificate. Beyond Identity for Workforces provides snap-in” integration with single sign-on solutions, while Beyond Identity for Customers can be integrated (via SDK/API) with web-based and native apps.

Beyond Identity technical advisory board quotes include:

Compromised passwords are one of the top causes for data breaches in the digital world today by far. Beyond Identity’s novel idea of the self-signed certificate users get to decide which devices they own, and they control their keys, identities, and data is kind of awesome.” Dr. Taher Elgamal

PKC is the basis for all secure communications on the Internet. And leveraging it as the foundation for advancing authentication is both gratifying and vital to the future of online security.” Professor Dr. Martin Hellman

What really stood out to me on Beyond Identity was their strong technical team and their purpose-built architecture born in the cloud. I see the company changing the identity and security landscape by truly eliminating passwords. They are enabling businesses large and small to adopt a security posture that’s frictionless for users, which allows for quick adoption and a better security footprint.” Jarrod Benson

Since its inception, Aflac has put the customer first. Today, more than 50 million people trust us to assist them in being prepared for whatever life may bring. I see similarities in Beyond Identity’s Chain of Trust innovation. Designed to improve both user convenience and security, there are no passwords to create, remember, and change; onboarding and login are effortless; and device recovery and migration are user-driven. Beyond Identity’s elegance is in the simplicity and security of the personal certificate authority.” Timothy L. Callahan
