Florida Department of Law Enforcement Extends the SPYRUS® PKI
San Jose, Calif. - July 13, 2004 - SPYRUS, the Global Information Assurance Company, today announced that the Florida Department of Law Enforcement (FDLE) has extended its use of its state-wide law enforcement PKI system built around the SPYRUS PKI system solution. The system enables complete authentication of law enforcement personnel accessing sensitive databases.
The SPYRUS PKI System was first deployed in 2001 as part of a National Institute of Justice (NIJ) sponsored initiative conducted in cooperation with FDLE. The NIJ proposed the project to FDLE and both agencies (NIJ and FDLE) jointly funded the PKI. The SPYRUS PKI has been deployed over the Florida statewide frame relay network called the Criminal Justice Network or CJNet. Over 300 law enforcement agencies are connected to the network, which reaches more than 800 locations from the Georgia border to Key West. In preparation for its network-wide rollout, FDLE first purchased a SPYRUS PKI license for 10,000 seats. With the purchase announced today, approximately 26,000 digital certificates have been issued to date, paving the way for all authorized Florida law enforcement personnel to access a wide array of information. This most recent purchase marks the fourth time FDLE has extended its license since the 2001 deployment.
FDLE chose the SPYRUS PKI System solution because the PKI System is scalable, standards-based, high assurance, can be tailored to match its business rules by way of SPYRUS’ patent pending policy procedural module technology, and easy to manage.
