Focus: The evolution of digital security and network access
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.

The
origins of the electronic signature
Article from The Review (Feb 2008).
The digital signature is a mechanism that gives the majority of
electronically written documents a legal validity equivalent to their
paper counterparts. This mechanism allows the author of an electronic
document to be authenticated and guarantees their integrity by analogy
with the written signature on a paper document.
