Network Port Configuration

As an additional security measure PCmover Government Edition allows the communication ports to be modified from the standard network ports used by other versions of PCmover. This can help avoid other versions of PCmover being used to attempt communication with the government version, as well as other common attacks such as SYN attacks or other denial attacks.

Connect to IP Address or Hostname

In more complex government networks, there may be a need to perform a migration to another subnet where classic mechanisms for finding computers in PCmover might not be adequate. The government version of PCmover allows a host name and IP address to be entered to make a connection.

Note: In order to make an SSL connection, a host name is required for proper certificate validation.

Specify SSL Certificate Authority

Presently PCmover uses its own certificate server accessible over the Internet. Government entities, especially those who may not allow Internet access, may wish to have their own certificate authority. For added security, the government version of PCmover allows entities to specify their own SSL Certificate Authority or an SSL Certificate Authority of their choosing.

FIPS Enforcement and Encryption

The government version of PCmover allows support for computers that are set to use Federal Information Processing Standards (FIPS) compliant algorithms as determined by the computers security settings. When this setting is used, the standard edition of PCmover Enterprise will refuse to run. However, the government edition will run with FIPS support enabled. Also certain resources are encrypted with FIPS compliant AES.

Note: PCmover uses FIPS compliant algorithms. However, this does not mean that PCmover is FIPS certified.

Signed Policy Files

PCmover Enterprise uses policy files to control various aspects and options of the PCmover program. In the government version of PCmover these policy files are signed and verified with signing certificates.
