Providing leadership in transaction security ....
Company...
Priva Security Corporation (Priva) develops and markets advanced authentication technologies and transaction processing solutions for a variety of government, enterprise, and consumer markets.
Priva’s mission is to ensure that the digital revolution is based on a secure infrastructure so that individuals and networks are authenticated with certainty and that the information transmitted is protected.
Focused on the technology and infrastructure convergence that is occurring within the authentication market, Priva has uniquely differentiated itself by redefining the authentication trust lines and developing system-on-chip (SoC) solutions. While most authentication solutions on the market today require a trade-off between security and practicality, Priva has uniquely differentiated itself by creating an authentication infrastructure that provides multi-factor authentication with certainty, and transaction audit trails with non-repudiation, through a solution that is intuitively simple to use. This system easily integrates with thousands of existing applications, including security, one-time-password, single sign-on, loyalty, marketing, and payment. The company is headquartered in Cupertino, CA and is institutionally-backed and privately-held.

Solutions...
Cleared® Security Platform™...
Priva’s flagship product, the Cleared Security Platform, is the most comprehensive and powerful authentication solution available today. The Cleared Security Platform is an enterprise class, “trust credentialing,” authentication and audit system that incorporates the only marketed FIPS140-2 Level 3 government-certified, biometrically-enabled security processor (ClearedChip™). The platform provides multi-factor authentication with certainty for applications, individuals, systems, and networks requiring stringent access control. Unlike other authentication solutions, such as passwords, time-based smart cards and tokens, the Cleared Security Platform provides the highest levels of intrusion protection available in one unified, auditable, end-to-end system that eliminates significant barriers to adoption.
The ClearedChip, working with a secure ClearedHost™ authentication server, provides unique “trust” features going well beyond the FIPS standard of certification. For portable applications, Priva offers the ClearedChip embedded in a ClearedKey™ biometric-enabled USB or wireless token. The ClearedKey is a personal biometric key chain device designed for use with authentication, encryption, transaction processing, loyalty marketing, and payment applications. The ClearedKey can be used online (Computer) or offline (ATM machine or point-of-sale (POS) in retail). This platform enables “skimmer-less” transactions that are “better than card present,” and is impervious to password cracking, phishing, pharming, and man-in-the-middle attacks, while protecting the privacy and anonymity of the personal data and fingerprints.
To provide a high degree of flexibility, the Cleared Security Platform is architected to support authentication between a ClearedChip and multiple ClearedHosts. With an available open API and the ability to easily integrate with new and existing applications, the Cleared Security Platform offers lower maintenance, more stringent access control, and excellent return on investment.
