Entrust Public Key Infrastructure (PKI)

Public key infrastructure or PKI refers to a comprehensive system that uses authentication security and encryption software to establish and maintain a trustworthy network. Government agencies and corporations use PKI certificates to fortify their IT infrastructure from unauthorized access.

Entrust PKI security solutions help network administrators accomplish the goal of greater security by associating a public key with authorized users to enable encryption and digital signature capabilities across network applications. Epassport PKI is an adaptation of PKI for the government sector that stores information on a chip that can be verified against the data on the passport. Entrust, a certification authority, also enables passport PKI and smart card PKI for an additional security.

Entrust is a trusted provider of network security solutions that include digital certificates, two factor-authentication, ssl certificates, token authentication, and certificate management systems.
