"We contend daily with the challenge of figuring out who and what to trust online," said Melih Abdulhayoglu, Comodo CA CEO and chief security architect. "The Internet has yet to achieve its full potential because we cannot tell the fraudsters from our friends. In 2008, Comodo has worked hard to combat this problem."

The Comodo companies announced their vision and the solutions they have developed for the architecture of the "Trusted Internet," a state that provides everyone increased online safety by introducing trust into every online interaction. The "trusted Internet" depends on both authentication and security technologies to protect digital assets and transactions through mutual, real-time trust. Comodo's vision of the trusted Internet is backed by a fast-growing and diverse team of innovators that deliver new solutions to the market at a faster pace than many other companies in the segment, according to Comodo. In 2008 alone, the Comodo companies have introduced at least one new technology a month in the security and authentication categories, bringing the trusted Internet state closer to all online users and businesses.

The Trusted Internet

The trusted Internet vision incorporates a variety of authentication and security technologies needed to provide mutual authentication between sites and visitors. Within a trusted Internet, Comodo empowers users to verify site content, verify site identity, and verify business practices of a site, all while staying safe using a holistic security system that incorporates malware detection, prevention, and removal services. The architecture of a trusted Internet includes:

         Authentication layer

         Multi-layered security solutions

The Authentication Layer

The core technology model for the trusted Internet is the Comodo Authentication Layer, says the company. This architecture incorporates patent-pending technologies with both centralized and distributed authentication processes. This capability harnesses Comodo CA's core competency in PKI for centralized authentication and innovations in creating platforms for harnessing user generated verification intelligence within a distributed authentication structure. Together, this provides for a balanced authentication infrastructure that addresses a diverse set of needs.

Comodo Centralized Authentication Solutions:

         EV SSL for improved online business identity verification

         Code Signing Certificates for verification of code publishers

         SecureEmail

         Two Factor Authentication

         Content Verification Certificates

         VerificationEngine for content verification (patent-pending, free license)

         PCI Vulnerability Management

Comodo Distributed Authentication Solutions:

         UserTrust, a free feedback platform for eMerchants

         TestmyPC, a free resource to assess the efficacy of a PC's security system

Multi-layered prevention, detection and remediation security solutions

Comodo Security Solutions has developed efficient security technologies for businesses and end users to address evolving multi-layered threats. The security architecture integrates prevention, detection and remediation technologies critical for effective security. The solutions within this area include:

         TRUSTIX Enterprise Firewall (free license)

         Comodo Firewall Pro (free license)

         Comodo BackUp (free license)

         TrustConnect, encryption services for wireless online sessions

         Comodo Firewall Pro PLUS, PC maintenance and remediation service

"In an environment of increasing threats, we must empower all stakeholders within the Internet with tools to deliver the right authentication information quickly at the point of need to protect users and critical assets," said Abdulhayoglu. "The trusted Internet initiative addresses the industry's and public's most pressing needs for trusted online interactions. It introduces new security and authentication technologies to increase the power of the Internet to improve the lives of millions of people."
