The most critical element in an enterprise deployment of certificate-based authentication services is a mechanism for managing the lifecycle of keys and certificates over time. Without an automated mechanism to manage keys and certificates, wide-scale deployment of certificates is not possible. Without any one of the features listed above, certificate-based security is difficult to use, costly to deploy, or complex to administer. As shown below, we provide a complete digital certificate-based solution for digital signature and encryption, and include full life-cycle management of keys and certificates for ease-of-use, ease-of-administration, and the lowest cost of ownership. We offer a single infrastructure product that can be used for enterprise certificates (such as for use in e-mail, e-forms, file & folder protection), standard Web certificates, VPN certificates for use with Virtual Private Network devices such as routers and firewalls, as well as certificates for Secure Electronic Transactions (SET).

Our ability to provide all of these certificate-based services using a single infrastructure product provides tremendous advantages for an organization that offers electronic transactions for trading and EDI to many different enterprises. By providing the flexibility and opportunity to expand the digital certificate services offered to these companies without having to change the underlying infrastructure product it offers inherent savings by enabling the solution to be readily scaled as new users and new requirements evolve.
