This system has been developed in partnership with mPKI, a provider of next generation 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 management software. UniCERT CDS, which builds on Baltimore's expertise in security e-services, uses tailored Web interfaces for intuitive, easy-to-manage certificate distribution, and it also offers a mechanism to automatically verify the user's identity in real time. Unique to the e-security marketplace, UniCERT CDS offers the simplest and most cost effective way to deploy and manage a Public Key Infrastructure (PKI). USDataCenters, Inc., a provider of fully managed Internet data and hosting services, selected UniCERT CDS to provide a highly scalable and robust security solution to its customers. "Smaller enterprises need a simple method of using digital certificates to realize the same benefits as large enterprises. In addition, a user-friendly means for highly secure applications can translate into more revenue and more customers," said Neil Buckley, director of security and networking for USDataCenters. "UniCERT CDS allows us to roll out PKI-secured applications with an accelerated time-to-market and a lower cost of entry, resulting in additional revenue and a faster return on our investment." "As PKI deployments for live e-business and enterprise applications expand to large numbers of users, significantly enhanced services Enhanced service is service offered over commercial carrier transmission facilities used in interstate communications, that employs computer processing applications that act on the format, content, code, protocol, or similar aspects of the subscriber's transmitted information; need to be delivered to manage the generation, deployment and management of certificates," said Paddy Holahan, executive vice president of Marketing at Baltimore Technologies. "UniCERT CDS has already enabled customers to realize enormous gains in the efficiency and security of deploying and managing digital certificates. We are especially proud to be the first security vendor to deliver this service for our customers, making PKI implementations accessible to a wider range of organizations and service providers."

Examples include the Security Service (MI5) and the Secret Intelligence Service (MI6) in the United Kingdom, and the and protecting Internet applications. UniCERT CDS allows service providers to provide their customers with complete control over the authentication (1) Verifying the integrity of a transmitted message. See message integrity, e-mail authentication and MAC. (2) Verifying the identity of a user logging into a network. process by deciding which users are eligible or no longer eligible for digital certificates. This flexibility in managing the security policy provides customers with the critical control and assurance they need to confidently outsource their business-critical applications. The customer, shielded from the administrative side of the PKI, simply issues the request for new certificates, renewals and revocations. UniCERT CDS shifts the responsibility for making changes to the customer, minimizing the service provider's involvement for management of the PKI itself. e-Security Administration and Deployment Made Easier UniCERT CDS automates the time-consuming task of registering users for digital certificates by automatically importing databases, reducing deployment costs and making it easier for service providers to effectively launch and manage large PKI deployments. As the registration and authorization is automatic and seamless, using a combination of email, web and telephone, the end-user experience is simplified.
