Incredibly, most enterprise networks,
eBanking sites and online communities only require static
identity credentials for access to facilities, networks and
sensitive information. The enormous increase in computing power
makes this type of authentication extremely risky and quickly
becoming obsolete. These concerns and the financial impact of
data and identity theft are driving the adoption of more
advanced identity and access management systems.
The possibilities for enhanced security
and convenience are becoming boundless thanks to the integration
of personalized smart cards and services based on Public Key
Infrastructure (PKI) with existing IT environments.
Organizations can deploy stronger security in phases, starting
with strong user authentication and then migrating to PKI
services such as digital signature, encryption, rights
management, and federated identity systems for internal and
external use. Stay tuned - this is just the beginning of a new
and more secure era, in the new millennium of pervasive digital
networks.
