One of today’s business challenges is finding a balance between governance, compliance and participating in business value chains. The key element here is trust. Can the participating partners be trusted?
In heterogeneous business environments, where partners have conflicting interests on the one hand and a sense of urgency to cooperate on the other, there are many challenges to overcome.One of these challenges is efficient data exchange between different entities with their own areas of responsibility. Business partners who contribute to such a business value chain must agree on a required high level of trust. Consequently, a mechanism needs to be implemented to enforce communication and commerce according to this trust level. Digital certificates provide the functionality required to do this.
Public Key Infrastructures are built to provide digital certificate technology and can be implemented in various ways. TrustAlert offers easy access to the ’nice-to-haves’ of digital certificate technology without having to spend resources on implementing a full-scale PKI. So by using our solution, unified federated identity management can be implemented efficiently without having to commit resources to establishing a PKI.
The advantages of RESEPT when compared to a ’classic’ PKI are:
• short learning curve; • unifying various types of authentication methods; • low cost by making otherwise required validation practices obsolete.
