Manage Your Certification Authority with Ease Deploying digital certificates allows an organization to leverage encryption and digital signatures to support a variety of security services, including user and device authentication, transaction integrity and data security. Entrust Authority Security Manager, the world’s leading public key infrastructure (PKI), is designed to help organizations easily manage their security infrastructure. This certification authority (CA) system allows organizations to easily manage the digital keys and certificates that are used to secure user and device identities. The Product Deployed at the server-level, Entrust Authority Security Manager software enables valuable security capabilities — including digital signature, digital receipt, encryption and permissions management — to be applied across a wide variety of enterprise applications. With the automatic and transparent key and certificate management delivered by Entrust Authority Security Manager, users do not need to know anything about security to leverage the enterprise security features. In addition, Entrust Authority Security Manager provides key backup and recovery of keys and key history so that organizations can have confidence that encrypted information will not get lost if a user loses his or her keys. With Entrust products, security management is seamless and transparent to the end-user, thereby reducing help desk calls. The solution provides the following capabilities: • Securely stores the CA private key • Issues certificates for users and to any device or application supporting the X.509 certificate standard • Publishes certificate revocation lists (CRLs) that are used to verify whether a user or application’s certificate is still trusted by the CA that issued it • Maintains an auditable database of users’ private key histories for recovery purposes, in the event that users lose their keys Leveraging Entrust Authority’s optional components, organizations can choose to add further security management capabilities — including automated enrollment, self-registration and self-recovery of digital identities, secure roaming and the use of PINs as an alternative to strong authentication.
