The Ozone™ Suite
How The Ozone™ Suite works
The Ozone Suite marries three software applications: Ozone™ Authority, Ozone™ Console, and Ozone™ Server. You can purchase all three together, purchase Ozone Authority and Ozone Console together, or purchase Ozone Server separately.
You can authorize:
- Which applications a user can run
- Application functions available to a specific user
- Communication between a set of systems
- Authorization responsibility to other organizations (federation)
The Ozone Server™ processes incoming authorization requests. When a request is received, the Ozone Server™ will check to see if it is allowed to process the proof. If so, it will ensure it has a valid copy of the proof by verifying the signature and ensuring that the current time is within the validity period of the proof.
The requested user identification will then be digested using the same method as those stored in the proof.
The proof will then be checked to see if the digest is within the proof. If the digest is found, the authorization is valid and the Ozone Server™ will respond to the application with an appropriate message.
Ozone Products' application integration
Applications can authenticate users cryptographically by using PIV badges or PKI smartcards.
The Ozone Authority™ stores all information pertaining to all proofs, and the Ozone Console™ acts as the interface, allowing administrators to manage the proofs.
Proofs are published on a per-proof schedule by the
Ozone Authority™ to a
directory server.
