|
Digital certificate-enabled smart cards are
an efficient, flexible and portable solution for authenticating identities,
encrypting data and validating transactions, so that organisations can
alleviate security risks, reduce costs and provide end- users with convenient,
value-added services.
VeriSign offers
scalable, flexible and customisable solutions for incorporating certificates
into smart cards. By allowing enterprises to outsource all or a portion
of the certificate issuance process, VeriSign makes it easier and faster
to produce and integrate digital certificates on to smart cards for
a range of purposes - from mobile phones, cable modems and set top boxes
to banking, healthcare and national ID cards - and support multiple
processes, including key generation and certificate issuance. In addition,
enterprises can leverage the expertise of our Professional Services
Organisation to provide seamless integration with existing systems and
services.
Two solutions of VeriSign Smart Cards are
available to meet varying customer demands.
High-Volume Smart Card Solution
VeriSign enables certificates to be generated
in batch volumes for incorporation into smart cards and other devices.
Based on VeriSign's carrier-class, 24x7 digital certificate architecture
and industry-leading outsourced managed PKI services, the platform is
currently the only offering that enables smart card providers to integrate
digital certificates into the device manufacturing/card production process.
VeriSign can integrate with various device manufacturing systems or
card management systems via the XKMS standard interface or through direct
integration. The VeriSign platform provides scalability and reliability,
with little effort or resources expended by the enterprise.
Low-to-Medium Volume Smart Card Solution
Low-to-medium volume smart card solutions are
ideal for enterprises or situations that require a limited number of
certificates at a given time, such as multi-use identification badges
for employees, for introducing pilot programs, and handling exceptions.
In these scenarios, VeriSign managed PKI services deliver flexible solutions
for integrating digital certificates into smart cards.
