RSA Security has announced new versions of its PKI-enabling solutions offering developers support for important B2B protocols such as Online Certificate Status Protocol (OCSP) and XML-signing, already required by many institutions in the financial industry.
Designed to simplify and secure B2B and enterprise applications, RSA BSAFE Cert-C 2.0 and RSA BSAFE Cert-J 2.0 security software products provide developers with all the certificate-processing capabilities and cryptographic software necessary to securely "PKI-enable" any business.
The software is designed to help independent software vendors, enterprises and e-business service providers create applications that seamlessly and automatically interoperate with multiple existing PKI products, reducing risk and protecting customers from being locked into one vendor or PKI implementation.
RSA BSAFE Cert products also feature support for the PKCS#11 and PKCS#12 standards. These cryptographic standards enable interoperability with hardware accelerators and smart cards and allow applications to import and export a user`s private keys or digital certificate.
"Businesses are using the Internet more than ever to conduct critical business - between employees, partners, re-sellers and their supply chain. They are looking for shortcuts to deploy this technology quickly and securely," said Peter Burgess, territory manager: sub-Saharan Africa at RSA Security. "The enhancements made to the RSA BSAFE Cert products were designed with the developer in mind and have been thoroughly tested for multi-vendor interoperability."
RSA BSAFE
RSA BSAFE Cert software is designed to reduce the effort and in-depth expertise required to develop PKI-enabled applications by managing all the details of digital certificate requests, retrieval, validation, storage and revocation, and is designed to allow developers to quickly create an application that can be deployed across multiple platforms. The RSA BSAFE line of security software is embedded in today`s most successful Internet applications, including Web browsers, wireless devices, e-commerce servers, e-mail systems and virtual private network products. Built to provide tested and secure implementations of standards such as SSL, SMIME, WTLS, IPSec and PKCS, RSA BSAFE products can save developers time and lower risk in missing or delaying their development schedules.
