15 security vendors sign-up to EEMA's pki Challenge. (Security News).Fifteen security vendors have committed to test the compatible nature of their public key infrastructure (PKI) products within EEMA's pki Challenge. Ascertia, Baltimore, Cryptomathic, Entrust, Guardeonic, Microsoft, NetseT, RSA (1) (Rural Service Area) See MSA. (2) (Rivest-Shamir-Adleman) A highly secure cryptography method by RSA Security, Inc., Bedford, MA (www.rsa.com), a division of EMC Corporation since 2006.

UTI Urinary tract infection, see there Systems, Valicert and VeriSign are testing the interoperability of their PKI components between June and October 2002 in this key phase of the pki Challenge project. The goal will be to overcome the current interoperability problems between PKI products, and develop specifications and best practice in the world standards arena. The vendors test their chosen products alongside some or all of the predetermined pre·de·ter·mine v. pre·de·ter·mined, pre·de·ter·min·ing, pre·de·ter·mines v.tr. 1. To determine, decide, or establish in advance: `interoperability specification criteria', defined within the project's work to-date. The testing is conducted remotely against an agreed `reference implementation' supplied by Utimaco Safeware, Belgium. The test infrastructure is housed at Consignia in the UK, with the test plan compiled by WISeKey. The testing participants will use their preferred directory system for `publication' of certificates and certificate revocation information by their Certification Authority/Registration Authority, and each application accesses one central `meta' directory to take care of all of the complexities of distributing LDAP (Lightweight Directory Access Protocol) A protocol used to access a directory listing. LDAP support is implemented in Web browsers and e-mail programs, which can query an LDAP-compliant directory. requests to the other vendors' directories. MaXware's `Virtual Directory' will be used for this purpose. The results of the pki Challenge will be demonstrated at ISSE ISSE Information Security Solutions Europe ISSE International Students for Social Equality ISSE International Salon & Spa Expo ISSE Internet Streaming SIMD Extension (Intel processor command set extension) (Information Security Solutions Europe) October 2-4 at Disneyland, Paris.
