The Evolution of PKI

Public Key Infrastructure has been around for more than an Internet lifetime. Whether you realize it or not, you probably are using a part of PKI everyday. Digital certificates are used for everything from SSL and VPN, to B-to-B data exchanges and e-Passports. Public key cryptography is the proven security technology that powers digital certificates, and it is entering its next phase of evolution. Public key has moved beyond infrastructure and is everywhere around us powering authentication and encryption applications.

Layering Security When and Where You Need It
Entrust began helping enterprises and governments secure information and file transfers using public key infrastructure (PKI) more than 15 years ago — and we have significantly expanded our offering along the way. Not all organizations need the comprehensive level of security that a PKI can provide. Many customers choose to start with specific packaged Entrust solutions such as Secure Boundary Email, Mobile Data Security, Network and Folder Security and some even start simply with SSL.

For All Your Digital Certificate Needs
We can provide you with the digital certificates you need. Whether you need certificates for use with web SSL, custom-built applications, standards-based third-party applications, or packaged Entrust solutions, you can get them from Entrust. Digital certificates can be obtained from Entrust's public key managed service, or from an appliance or software that can be deployed and hosted by a customer. Entrust Authority PKI offers one of the most flexible and manageable solutions on the market, and is trusted and relied on by governments and enterprises around the world.

A Solution That Works For You
We want you to start by thinking about what you are trying to secure. Security can be made as transparent or evident as your situation allows. You can layer security one step at a time, or deploy comprehensive layered security capabilities across your organization, devices, applications and users.

When evaluating a security solution, consider the following:

1. What applications would you like to enable with digital credentials? Can the digital credentials be used across many or all applications to perform:

Authentication

Encryption

Digital Signature

2. How is the security infrastructure deployed?

Hosted as a managed PKI Service
Transparently, onboard an application appliance
Deployed and managed in-house

3. Is it easy to administer? What about user registration?

4. How does it add security to your day-to-day activities and applications such as Microsoft products?

5. Where is the digital ID? How portable are the digital credentials and where can they be stored?
