IAM Technology (IAM) has developed the next generation of digital identity and secure data assurance. IAM's security software and hardware are built on technology advances, initially developed for the United States Department of Defense, that are both evolutionary and revolutionary: evolutionary in that it is based on well-established security techniques yet revolutionary because it incorporates recently developed breakthroughs in mathematics and computation. The technology provides the most efficient and compliant trust backbone for enterprise SOA (Service Oriented Architectures) implementations, storage networks and for the exchange of authenticated data.

IAM delivers revolutionary advances on the speed, efficiency and persistence (historic audit-ability) of data validation - developing a common trust infrastructure to validate disparate data objects including security assertions (such as those related to digital identities), digital signatures, and data in general. The technology has immediate benefits in two very large markets: web services and federated identity, but also has many diverse applications in important vertical markets. IAM provides not simply the validation of data, but assures non-repudiation and audit-ability for any historic time period. Enterprises are, therefore, provably compliant to internal audit controls and domestic and foreign regulatory requirements. IAM has successfully implemented its security technology as commercial, standards-based hardware appliances for ease of integration into corporate networks.

IAM Technology is a partnership between IAM management and Brown University of Providence, Rhode Island. The company is recognized as a novel approach to University-based research commercialization as it maintains a perpetual, exclusive license to various research of Brown's Center for Geometric Computing. IAM maintains a multi-year Research Agreement with the Center with exclusive license rights to developed technologies, which has led to four provisional patent filings in 2006.
