Public Key Infrastructure

Public Key Infrastructure - The Key to Safe Transactions

You need to know that communications between employees, customers and suppliers remain secure. An effective public key infrastructure (PKI) gives you the encryption/decryption tools to ensure only the appropriate party receives the intended information.

Why Public Key Infrastructure?

Passwords have outlived their usefulness. A higher standard of protection, such as PKI security, is required as computing power increases and the tools available to hackers evolve.

• Easily forgotten
• Easily compromised - intentionally or unintentionally
• Easily deciphered by even the most basic of systems

With public key infrastructure, all permissions are controlled by a certificate authority that grants and relinquishes all keys. A PKI solution takes the burden of security off the end user and allows them to focus on their core job functions.

Public key infrastructure puts all of the tools in place

• Digital Certificates
• Certificate Authorities
• Public/Private Key Distribution

A public key infrastructure can also be a key component of your identity management system. A system utilizing public key infrastructure generates digital certificates that can be used for strong authentication to your networks and applications.
