A user profile can be created for each user to define which applications the user is allowed to access. The profiles are saved in a directory located in Sonera's secure equipment rooms, and they can be easily managed by the customer by means of a graphic user interface. The Sonera SecureWeb service solution promotes the role of the Internet as a reliable medium of communications and electronic commerce. People have talked about certificates for many years, but until now it's not been possible to utilize the services for example in the business sector. An act on digital signatures will be passed this year.
Certificates make it possible to provide truly secure applications on public networks.
