VASCO Data Security, OpenTrust Team To Offer PKI-Based Solutions

VASCO Data Security International, a software security company specialising in authentication products, and OpenTrust, a European player offering trust infrastructures for secure electronic transactions, have announced 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 USB-tokens to a large number of users.

In the 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.
