KPMG TCI today announced the development of a platform to secure e-business transactions. The initial area of focus will be on providing a secure e-mail solution to TCI's financial and professional services industries.
Secure email is the foundation for the development of e-commerce.
Individuals and entities in the international financial sector require positive identification of their business counterparts. To date, this has been difficult to achieve in an on-line environment. Locally, KPMG has risen to the challenge and in conjunction with KPMG partners in other financial services jurisdictions such as Cayman, Bermuda, Bahamas and Isle of Man, has developed Certeca. PKI Digital Signatures allow someone receiving data over the Internet to determine not just the origin of the information but also its integrity. Such transactions are accompanied by a Digital Certificate, issued by Certeca, which allows the recipient of a message to check the identity of the sender.
