With the EverLink CA Server, Certificate Management has just become Easier

Authentication Methods EverLink provides:

• PKI/Smart Cards (i-Key, x.509 v. 3 digital certificates, etc.)
• Token Cards (Defender, RADIUS, etc.)
• Passwords

The EverLink CA (Certificate Authority) Server -
The 100%-PKI Complaint Authentication Solution

Following recent security breaches, the computer industry has discovered that the traditional user-name/password method of authentication is very risky. It’s primary weakness is that, when transmitted over the Internet, a user-name and password is not protected and can be easily stolen or revealed. This challenge, however, can be overcome by the use of certificates with Public Key Infrastructure; PKI provides the backbone for a total information security solution. In PKI, each party in an information transfer has separate keys for encryption and decryption. That is, the sender will use the receiver’s public key to encrypt the data, and the receiver will have his own private key to decrypt the data. In this system, the user’s private key signs the data, and his identity is verifiable by his public key. Since a private key doesn’t need to pass through the Internet, this totally eliminates the possibility that it could be sniffed. In this way, information privacy and non-repudiation of disputed charges can be ensured.

The CA Server functions as the authorization center for enterprise business application systems. There’s no need to wait for approval from a traditional certificate authority company, and no need for outsourcing. An organization can build its own trust base for PKI enabled applications,

With the CA Server, a company can easily transform their LANs into a secure WAN, while still maintaining centralized access control on the whole. And a corporate access control policy can remain in force even if users move from one LAN to another,

As the certificate authority for enterprise B2B applications, a company can issue certificates to chosen business partners, as if forming a “VIP Club” in the e-commerce world,

The CA Server can also provide public certificate authentication services.  The flexible design, scalability and adoption of international standards allow this server to be easily expanded from an enterprise CA to a public CA.

The EverLink CA Server – an easy turnkey solution

The CA Server has an intuitive browser/server user interface, which is secure and safe, easy to maintain, and simple to configure,

With the CA Server, user certificate management is easy: Certificate application, approval, installation and revocation can all be done online through a browser, and users can manage their own passwords on the server, increasing security,

The certificate and its private key can be stored in different kinds of storage media such as electronic keys, electronic buttons, and smart cards,

The CA Server can issue and use certificates in languages other than English, yet are still compatible with other servers and can implement many extensions.

Applications Scenarios for the EverLink CA Server

The CA Server is designed for enterprises and organizations of all sizes that wish to upgrade from the traditional username/password authentication system to the industry-wide PKI authentication. It provides a trust management foundation for PKI-enabled software applications.
