PKI solutions can enable a number of security services, including strong authentication and non-repudiation of transactions.
Users can authenticate, encrypt, sign and decrypt electronic transactions with full confidence.
In today's world of electronic business transactions, organizations need a method to authenticate the identity and validity of users accessing information on computer networks. A PKI consists of protocols, services, and standards supporting applications of public key cryptography. In a PKI, every user is assigned a cryptographic key pair consisting of a public key and private key that are mathematically related. The public key is published, while the private key is kept secret. A digital signature is created using the private key of an individual to ensure the validity of his request.
