San Diego, CALIF. - May 13, 2009 - Anakam has announced the general availability of the next generation of Anakam's market leading strong authentication and identity proofing solution for large-scale identity management requirements. The innovative Anakam Identity SuiteŽ capability set has been expanded to enable a whole new series of trusted Web solutions for citizens, patients, consumers and professionals working with sensitive personal data. Version 3.5 of Anakam.TFAŽ Two-Factor Authentication facilitates more rapid and resilient interfaces with an even wider variety of external-facing identity-dependent applications that were previously unavailable because of dependence on costly card and token-based solutions.

Healthcare, government, finance, and e-commerce organizations can now leverage Anakam as part of their larger corporate strategy on identity management as they build external trust services surrounding digital signature, patient consent management, remote programming of medical devices, medical home monitoring, transactional data signing, e-prescribing and e-forms processing. Anakam has also expanded and enhanced the application program interfaces (APIs) available to support more robust cloud-based or enterprise-based identity as a service (IaaS) thereby allowing the trust envelope to extend from the data to the user in the cloud, not just the device. Finally, the newest release of Anakam.TFAŽ incorporates tested interoperability with a wide variety of additional desktop virtualization, virtual private network, and software-as-a-service platforms.

"Anakam's newest release makes it even easier for our customers to implement the latest in business-specific functionality through new, standards-based APIs, new interfaces to a large installed base of core remote access applications, and increased redundancy and resiliency capabilities," according to the Anakam CTO, Brent Williams. "With Anakam's latest release, our existing and new customers can enable new trust-based services to their external user base increasing the quality of round-the-clock customer service while dramatically reducing the costs of paper processing and handling as well as call center services."
