PKI & Authentication Services
|
|
|
Business requirements to make suppliers, partners,
and customers more efficient are driving enterprises to look into ways
to securely open up their networks and applications. They are looking
for new and different ways to take advantage of the business communication
and commerce that online channel opportunities provide. This includes
business partner extranets and consumer Web applications.
In the past, authentication solutions have
been costly and cumbersome to deploy and because of this, the proliferation
of these solutions has been extremely limited. With VeriSign, customers
can move to an easier, more ubiquitous universal authentication solution
that relies on VeriSign’s Intelligence and ControlSM services to provide
best-of-breed security for network and Internet resources.
VeriSign's technology leadership in strong
authentication - demonstrated through our partnerships with Intel and
Microsoft, and our role in setting open standards such as XKMS and WS-Security
- ensures the highest ROI for your investments over time.
PKI and authentication services are delivered
through VeriSign's military-grade public key infrastructure and Security
Operations Centers ensuring 24x7x365 monitoring, management, and escalation
across the globe.
PKI and Authentications Services Include:
VeriSign Core Managed PKI provides a cost-effective
way to establish a robust, customised PKI and Certificate Authority
system for issuing digital credentials throughout your enterprise, allowing
your users secure access to e-mail, networks, VPN, ERP, extranets, portals,
and other applications.
This is available as an entry-level service
for enterprises needing to secure applications on a small scale. Enterprises
can control the issuance of digital certificates to internal and external
users, while outsourcing to VeriSign such data centre processing tasks
as digital certificate generation, validation, renewal and revocation.
VeriSign's Managed Public Key Infrastructure
and authentication services enable enterprises to retain full control
for access to information while leveraging VeriSign's service infrastructure
for provisioning and validation of authentication credentials. These
services are integrated out-of-the-box with leading multi-factor authentication
technologies, including USB tokens, smart cards, biometrics, and digital
form signing, providing lower total cost of ownership.
The VeriSign® Device Certificate Service makes
it fast, efficient, and cost-effective to embed X.509 certificates into
any type of hardware devices such as cable modems, set-top boxes, Digital-Cable-Ready
televisions, or WiMAX-compliant subscriber stations. The X.509-standard
certificates embedded in the hardware devices enable service providers
such as cable operators to perform strong authentication of their distributed
devices used by their subscribers. The certificate-based authentication
prevents any rogue device employed by unauthorized users from accessing
services such as cable network based VOIP, digital media content, or
broadband service.
The Trust Service Integration Kit (TSIK) provides
Java APIs that minimise the complexity behind trusted application development.
The APIs enable developers to rapidly integrate digital trust services
including secure XML processing, authentication, real-time certificate
validation and authorisation.
VeriSign helps enterprises assess, design and
deploy cost-effective and scalable strong authentication solutions,
while maximising the value of existing security investments.
With this service, device certificates are
created at VeriSign and automatically delivered to the manufacturer's
site for easy embedment into devices at the time of manufacture.
