The Secure Solution
Lightweight Portable Security (LPS) creates a pristine,
trusted end-node within the fast, volatile memory of an
unmanaged PC. LPS boots a small operating system from a
CD-ROM without mounting the hard drive, thus bypassing
malware while leaving no trace of user activity.
LPS-Public includes a Linux operating system, Firefox web
browser with Java, Flash, and middleware to use smart
cards like the DoDs Common Access Card (CAC) and the
US Governments Personal Identity Verification (PIV) card,
SPIs Encryption Wizard, PDF viewer, file browser, text
editor, image viewer, Remote Desktop Software (Citrix,
Microsoft, or VMware), SSH client, and the ability to use
USB drives (memory sticks or hard drives).
LPS Editions
LPS-Public is our original flagship product. It is designed
to allow productive use of the Internet including publicfacing CAC- or PIV-enabled Government websites from
home or while traveling.
LPS-Public Deluxe adds OpenOffice software, which is a
Microsoft Office-compatible suite of desktop applications,
and Adobe Reader, for digitally signing PDF forms.
LPS-Remote Access is designed to allow Government
Agencies to connect directly to enterprise networks and
use internal network resources. Available only by request,
each version is customized for a particular customer to
include VPN, thin client, and other required software.
Approved DoD-wide for COOP, and certified USAF-wide
for general telecommuting.
