Route1 Working with U.S. National Cybersecurity Center of Excellence

Route1 (TSXV:ROI; OTCQB:ROUIF) has announced that its wholly-owned subsidiary Rout1 Security is working with the National Cybersecurity Center of Excellence in the National Cybersecurity Center of Excellence Derived Personal Identity Verification Credentials Building Block to develop cybersecurity approaches that address the needs of Information Technology systems.
As quoted in the press release:

By accelerating dissemination and use of these integrated tools and technologies for protecting IT assets, the NCCoE will:

• enhance trust in U.S. IT communications, data and storage systems;
• reduce risk for companies and individuals using IT systems; and
• encourage development of innovative, job-creating cybersecurity products and services.

NIST does not evaluate commercial products under this Consortium and does not endorse any product or service used. Additional information on this Consortium can be found at http://nccoe.nist.gov/projects/building-blocks/piv-credentials.
DerivID is Route1’s implementation of Derived Personal Identity Verification (PIV) Credentials. PIV credentialing initially focused on authentication through traditional computing devices, such as desktops and laptops, where a PIV card would provide a common authentication through integrated smart card readers. Today, the proliferation of mobile devices that do not have integrated smart card readers complicates PIV credentials and authentication. DerivID leverages patent-pending technology for securing cryptographic credentials; more specifically, the critically sensitive Private Key Material.
Route1 shares the vision that there are broad applications of the Derived Credential concept beyond the PIV related use-cases within government operations, as the requirement for securing Identity Cryptographic Credentials in the mobile space without encumbering the end user is in high demand.
