Public Key

Public-key cryptography delivers proven security

Deployments of public key infrastructure (PKI) have become pervasive throughout the global marketplace since the first commercial public key solution was introduced 15 years ago. Most users, whether they know it or not, use public key security every day. For organizations seeking to implement a public key infrastructure solution, Entrust provides a layered solution that can be customized to the specific security requirements of any company.

Entrust and public-key products

Entrust - the leader in public key security

Entrust pioneered the first commercially available public key infrastructure system in the early 1990s and today remains a worldwide leader in public key technology. Entrust Authority, now in its seventh edition, is the most relied upon public key solution in the industry. Using Entrust Authority, organizations can more easily manage digital identities and more effectively use encryption, digital signatures and authentication technology in a wide variety of platforms and applications. Entrust Authority enables PKI security to be applied consistently and transparently throughout the organization.

Entrust Authority is a modular solution with fully integrated components that allows organizations to configure public-key technology to meet specific security needs. Entrust Authority Security Manager, the foundation of this product suite, is the certification authority (CA) system responsible for issuing and managing users' digital identities.
