In their review of SecretAgent, SC Magazine
arrived at this verdict: "This solution will sit happily
on a stand-alone machine or network and provides the means to
secure data using either PKI or self-signed transactions. The
installation is easy and the solution proved to be both intuitive
and user-friendly." It was awarded 5 out of 5 stars
for ease of use, performance, and value. |

Comparison Summary for SecretAgent on various platforms
(updated 3/31/08)
Command line executable and linkable library versions of SecretAgent
are also available on all supported platforms.
X.509 Support
SecretAgent can generate standard PKCS#10 certificate
requests (for use with an existing enterprise PKI) or X.509 version
3 self-signed certificates (for operation without a formal PKI).
Encryption uses standard X.509 certificates and CRLs. We have performed
interoperability testing with all major Certificate Authorities
and PKI vendors (e.g., Baltimore, Entrust, Verisign, XCert).
In October 2002, SecretAgent 5.6 passed interoperability
testing at DISA's JITC
PKI Certification Lab at Ft. Huachuca and has received formal
certification of full compliance with the DoD PKI. (JITC's Interoperability
Test Summary.)
Standards Compliance
SecretAgent fully satisfies NIST FIPS 140-2 and
NSTISSP No. 11 acquisition requirements for COTS security and information assurance products. The product is available to all government agencies through a DoD/OMB/GSA blank purchase agreement (BPA) recently awarded to our reseller Carahsoft Technology Corp.
