When communicating over distrusted networks you need to protect your messages with encryption. Many common applications use cryptography. The latest development in making the Internet more secure is the spreading of IPsec. Some products are already bringing the IPsec to the desktop and we believe that this will become more and more common. We have participated actively with our partners in the development of IPsec based products, and make IPsec based OEM solutions.
Encryption is of little use without proper key management.
There are several PKI projects going on at the moment. The most important in Finland is the HST project that establishes a national X.509 based PKI in Finland. Many other countries have similar projects going on. However, these projects are just one step towards comprehensive key management and cannot fulfil all the needs of organizations and individuals. There are several commercial products that try to fill these needs.
