The "New-Economy" has inculcated a major paradigm shift as Internet has gone from being incidental to being integral for businesses. The focus of e-business transformation is at information / data exchange with business partners and customers using Internet as the communication medium. However, the Internet is not secure from exploitation of inherent vulnerabilities as well as the security issues (authentication, authorization) that arise from the fact that all interaction over the Internet is unseen. Therefore airtight security addressing these security issues becomes a pre-requisite for successful e-business transformation.

In order to address the security requirements of businesses planning to communicate over the Internet with their business partners / customers, Comtrust has designed a digital certificate based solution- called SecureAccess. The solution is based on integrated PKI technology that includes a Comtrust Server Certificate, Business User Certificates, Certificate Validation Component and Comtrust Professional Services.

SecureAccess caters to the security requirements of businesses by addressing the authentication (an entity's identity) and authorization (an entity's privileges to perform certain actions) issues through use of digital certificates. Deployment of this solution not only ensures that only genuine users can access the resources but also assures that the authenticated users do not exceed their access privileges. Furthermore, the digital certificates can also be used for digitally signing and encrypting email communication.

When a user accesses the web server, s/he is challenged to present her/his credentials in the form of a Comtrust Business User Certificate. After verifying the identity of the server by means of the Comtrust Server Certificate, the user presents the Comtrust Business User Certificate. After authenticating the identity of the person logging onto the network, based on the Comtrust digital certificate, the individual is allowed access with permission / authorization privileges granted.
