Compliance with federal guidelines and secure access roles are two of the key needs CERF meets for successful government-funded research
Our privacy-focused digital software CERF is an advanced information management systemthat addresses critical needs of government-conducted and government-funded research such as encrypted digital signatures, user access control settings, and secure controlled documents.
Best-in-class intellectual property protection technology applies U.S. Federal Digital Signature Algorithm (DSA) encryption and the FDA’s electronic data recording regulation 21 CFR Part 11 to each data record to ensure secure data storage and legally compliant audit trails.
“[W]e’re going to aggressively protect our intellectual property. Our single greatest asset is the innovation and the ingenuity and creativity of the American people. It is essential to our prosperity and it will only become more so in this century.”
—President Barack Obama, March 11, 2010

From the office of the President of the United States “2010 JOINT STRATEGIC PLAN ON INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY ENFORCEMENT”. Most of the document is about the importance of I.P. industries to the US economy and how it is of national importance to protect our I.P. – but it is more about protecting it from illegal uses (mostly international) and not about the methods to capture it in the first place and ensure it will stand up in court.
