SafeNet, Inc., a global leader in information security, today announced that Certicámara, the digital Certification Authority (CA) for the Colombian Republic , selected and integrated SafeNet's iKey USB tokens into their Public Key Infrastructure in order to store and protect the digital identities of Colombian citizens.
In accordance with Colombian Republic legislation regarding the security of private keys, Certicámara needed to distribute digital certificates to 17,000 individual subscribers and more than 4,000 business subscribers for user authentication. Distributing the certifications will secure Internet transactions such as Web form signing, approval and authorization of systems, information workflow systems, and any Web application that required identity control and integrity of information management.
"SafeNet iKeys are the perfect solution," said Marcela Bello Z, Commercial Director for Certicámara. "The iKeys not only satisfy our requirements, but helped us meet necessary security compliance. SafeNet's excellent reputation and confirmed technical accreditations were key reasons for choosing SafeNet as a partner."
SafeNet's iKeys are portable, two-factor authentication USB tokens that allow users to have their credentials—a cryptographic key that establishes the identity of a party to a communication— on hand at all times. These tokens are FIPS validated and designed with the most advanced level of encryption, providing security that goes beyond the minimum requirements for PKI and digital certificates. With support for e-mail authentication and encryption, digital signatures, remote access, and more, Certicámara's customers now have the freedom to choose where and how they conduct their online business.-SafeNet
