The Internet offers incredible opportunities to deliver
products, services and information to an exploding global
marketplace. However, a trust infrastructure similar
to that used by credit cards and paper-based applications
must be established before it can be used as the conduit
for e-business. A certificate authority solution is
the answer. It provides a comprehensive security infrastructure
that incorporates public-key cryptography, certificates,
digital signatures and encryption to ensure complete
confidentiality, integrity and authentication.
The use of digital certificates is widely used in many
intranet extranet and Internet-based applications. It
is especially well suited for securing business communications
in banking, insurance, healthcare, government and other
industries where confidentiality is of paramount importance.
DSSS understands the need for a simple yet strong certificate
authority solution. Specifically designed to address
the need of a certificate authority solution in many
organizations, the DSSS certificate authority is a solution
that organizations would not even need a highly qualified
IT personnel to implement this solution.
Why DSSS Certificate Authority?
Full-featured life-cycle management
of X.509 certificates
The lifetime of the digital certificates is fully controlled
and determined by the organization that implements the
solution. The digital certificates issued follow the
X.509 version 3 standards.
Support for secure email (S/MIME)
and browser (SSL) applications
Organizations can use the self-signed digital certificates
to add security in their emails. Users can implement
digital signatures and encryption in their emails. Organizations
can implement authentication in their web applications
by using the digital certificates.
PKCS#11 interface to smartcards
and USB cryptographic tokens
It supports all kinds of smartcards and USB cryptographic
tokens that complies to the PKCS#11 standards.
Easy certificate issuing
The process of issuing a digital certificate to the
users is simple. There is no complex process for registration
of users.
Windows Logon
It allows the support for Microsoft Windows logon. The
digital certificates can be used to authenticate in
Microsoft Windows. Instead of the usual method of entering
user ID and password to login to the machine, you can
now present your digital certificate stored in a smartcard
or USB cryptographic token.
