Trusted Technology Based on Public Key Infrastructure (PKI)

PKI was invented more than thirty years and is the de facto standard for enabling strong authentication and encryption for businesses and governments around the world.

Standards Based PKI is used throughout the Internet today to secure data transmission via well know protocols such as SSL and TLS. By binding the identity of a user or device to a certificate and through core functionality that determines which certificates are trustworthy, PKI is inherently more secure than solutions that do not rely on certificates (e.g. Identity Based Encryption - IBE).

The Echoworx suite of privacy applications and the Encryption Platform are built on the following industry accepted standards for digital signatures and encryption:

  • Public Key Infrastructure (PKI)
  • X.509 Certificates
  • Secure / Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions (S/MIME)
  • Triple Data Encryption Standard (3DES)
  • Advanced Encryption Standard (AES)
  • 1024 bit RSA keys with MDS and SHA-1
  • 128-bit Secure Sockets Layer (SSL)

Why standards are important:

In addition to providing interoperability with governments and business partners who have already adotoped solutions based on PKI technology, standards-based encryption and authentication is also imperative when meeting digital signature requirements and in matters that deal with the legal admissibilty of encrypted messages and data.
