DataPower Announces XKMS Support for Its XS40 XML Security Gateway, Enables Interoperability with Managed PKI Services and Systems.Business Editors/High-Tech Writers RSA Conference The RSA Conference is a Cryptography-related conference held annually in the San Francisco Bay Area. The RSA Conference started in 1991 as a forum for cryptographers to gather and share the latest knowledge and advancements in the area of Internet security. 2003 SAN FRANCISCO San Francisco (săn frănsĭs`kō), city (1990 pop. 723,959), coextensive with San Francisco co., W Calif., on the tip of a peninsula between the Pacific Ocean and San Francisco Bay, which are connected by the strait known as the Golden and CAMBRIDGE, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--April 14, 2003 Agility of DataPower's Hardware Technology Demonstrated by Yet Another Advanced XML XML in full Extensible Markup Language. Markup language developed to be a simplified and more structural version of SGML. It incorporates features of HTML (e.g., hypertext linking), but is designed to overcome some of HTML's limitations. Security Feature Added in Record Time DataPower Technology, Inc., the leading provider of intelligent XML-aware network infrastructure, today announced the availability of XKMS XKMS XML Key Management Specification (W3C) (XML Key Management Specification) client support integrated with the DataPower XS40 XML Security Gateway(TM). The XS40 can now act as an XKMS client to verify the validity of certificates and retrieve keys as necessary to secure XML Web Services (1) Loosely, any online service delivered over the Web. Such usage appears in articles from non-technical sources, but not in IT-oriented publications, because definition #2 below describes the correct use of the term. transactions without coding complex Public Key Infrastructure (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 ) functions into every application. Public key cryptography An encryption method that uses a two-part key: a public key and a private key. To send an encrypted message to someone, you use the recipient's public key, which can be sent to you via regular e-mail or made available on any public Web site or venue. is at the heart of WS-Security, XML Digital Signature and XML Encryption XML Encryption is a specification that defines how to encrypt the content of an XML element. It's recommended by the W3C. XML Encryption encompasses the encryption of any kind of data, including the encryption of XML. . XKMS makes it easy for corporations to obtain and manage certificates required for XML Web Services security. Leading PKI vendors such as VeriSign, Entrust and RSA Security RSA, The Security Division of EMC Corporation, is headquartered in Bedford, Massachusetts, and maintains offices in Ireland, the United Kingdom, Singapore, India, and Japan. RSA organizes the annual RSA conference. have added support for XKMS to their digital certificate authority (CA) offerings to make PKI accessible to a broader array of applications -- without the cost and complexity of traditional PKI development. "Our customers are increasingly reliant on XML cryptography to secure transactions," said Rich Salz, Chief Security Architect at DataPower Technology Inc. "The agile design of the XS40 makes it easy for DataPower to add and update support for critical XML Web Services security specifications such as XKMS." DataPower's XS40 is the only XML security gateway that leverages its world's fastest, patent-pending XG3(TM) technology to deliver throughput not possible in software products. This performance advantage provides superior levels of security for a broad range XML Web services security functions, including XML filtering, schema validation, XML Encryption, XML Signature, WS-Security, XKMS and others, all of which require extensive XML processing. The performance of the XS40 is complemented by an industry leading XML-centric architecture within which all security policies are expressed as XML files. This enables the unique agility of the XS40, which is necessary for enterprises to efficiently cope with changing standards, policies and partners. The XS40 XML Security Gateway is used by major corporations such as RouteOne, an automotive credit consortium of GM, Ford, DaimlerChrysler and Toyota.
