VASCO Data Security and OpenTrust jointly offer end-to-end PKI-based solutions

April 2009 by Marc Jacob

VASCO Data Security International,
Inc. and OpenTrust announce
that they will jointly offer end-to-end PKI-based solutions. Under the terms of the agreement OpenTrust will
integrate VASCO’s VACMAN® and DIGIPASS® CertiID into OpenTrust SCM.

OpenTrust SCM is a web-based solution for the management of security devices from the core of the security
system through to the end-user. When PKI-technology is used for strong authentication, encryption or
document signing, the digital identity of the user needs to be stored on a smart card or USB-device.
OpenTrust SCM provides enterprises with a single platform to manage the deployment of smart cards or USBtokens
to a large number of users. The solution provides the capability of storing and updating credentials
from multiple applications on a single security device whether this is used for physical/logical access control,
single sign-on to corporate networks or business applications and digital identity management. OpenTrust
SCM uses open industry standards and can be used with different security and authentication technologies
(OTP, PKI, SSO). The solution ensures that secrets stored on smart cards or USB-authenticators are securely
transported for authentication or transaction signing.

In a first phase OpenTrust will integrate DIGIPASS CertiID for PKI-environments. DIGIPASS CertiID is used on
the client-side and end-users will be equipped with DIGIPASS® Key1 or DIGIPASS® 860. Later this year
VASCO VACMAN and SSO technology will be integrated with OpenTrust SCM for One-Time Password
authentication.
DIGIPASS CertiID is a client based PKI solution for strong authentication, digital signature and data
protection. It is a software suite which allows banks, enterprises and governments to use PKI-based
technology to sign transactions or confidential documents. It guarantees document confidentiality thanks to
signing and encryption functionality. It also offers non-repudiation of transactions. The solution uses a smart
card with a DIGIPASS 860 or DIGIPASS Key1 USB key on which certificates and keys are stored.

OpenTrust, founded in 2001, designs and develops solutions for the implementation of secure IT
infrastructures. Our customers include some of the most demanding European Fortune 500 and government
bodies often involved in very sensitive areas (national security, nuclear energy, financial transactions, airlines
etc. ) as well as enterprises whose aim is simply to better protect their assets. We believe that security will go
through a major transformation in the coming years. The present paradigm is to create a safe and reliable IT
environment with a "fortress" protecting corporate assets and over time posting additional guards at all entry
points. This paradigm is changing. Security will no longer be based on the level of protection implemented but
on the level of trust that can be granted to devices, users, networks and applications.
