Unisys to ship ABA digital certificates with financial applications

Unisys and the American Bankers Association (ABA) are working together to enable ABA member banks using Unisys applications or Unisys partner applications to leverage the power of digital certificates, data files that authenticate the identities of persons communicating over the World Wide Web. The ABA recently announced its intent to provide certificate authority services to its members through a subsidiary, ABAecom. Unisys will ship the root certificate for the ABA certificate authority, the software program that issues digital certificates, with its SPS line of security software products, making it easier for clients to access the ABA certificate authority.

Unisys is a leading presence in the banking and financial industry, serving 41 of the world`s 50 largest banks as well as many superregional, regional and community banks throughout the United States. Unisys will continue to seek opportunities to work with the ABA in support of certificate authority technology. Unisys is a provider of certificate authority products and services interoperable with the ABA certificate authority.
