Authentication
With the transition from phone-based fax to wireless and Internet fax, senders
have had less assurance their messages are received intact by the intended
receiver. Information security concerns have moved to the forefront of public
concern, thus making message authentication requirements of higher priority.
Xerox authentication technology provides assurance for Internet and wireless
communications users that their messages are received in an unaltered format
from a known sender.
Technology Description
Xerox has developed a means to include a signature within the normal constructs
of common raster image formats used for fax and other image-based
communications. The encoded signature can be used to provide a high level of
confidence that the image was not altered during transmission and that the
individual who claims authorship is in fact the person that sent it.
Messaging applications involve creation, storage, exchange, and management of
messages over a communications network. These applications require assurance
that messages arrive with high confidence of correct content and known origin.
Xerox authentication technology is also designed to provide additional features
often sought from messaging applications, such as fax, include sender
authentication, notification (to the sender) of receipt, and court-accepted
receipt time stamps.
Applications
Xerox Authentication technology is well suited for:
- Unified communications service providers
- Wireless & wireline client providers
- Connectivity infrastructure providers
- Messaging services infrastructure providers
Benefits
- Achieves the same level of perceived integrity for internet fax that phone
fax receive today
- Enables receiver acknowledgement / notification to sender that the message
was received intact and unaltered
- Provides transparent authentication between sender and recipient
- No productivity impact
