In addition to server activities, Entrust and Intel have been collaborating on network development efforts since mid 1999. This collaboration will enable Intel security software to interface with Entrust's API and to utilize their certificates for authentication to make Intel's adapters Entrust-Ready(tm). As a result of this collaboration, an Intel network adapter A printed circuit board that plugs into the bus of both user machines (clients) and servers in a local area network (LAN). Also commonly called a "network interface card" (NIC) or "LAN card," the network adapter transmits data onto the network and receives data from the network. card could ease the implementation of Entrust's PKI (Public Key Infrastructure) A framework for creating a secure method for exchanging information based on public key cryptography. The foundation of a PKI is the certificate authority (CA), which issues digital certificates that authenticate the identity of software. In the future, Intel plans to distribute Entrust's client software with Intel's new family of network security-enabled adapters.
