whitepaper Data Security Mythbusters: Public Key Infrastructure (PKI)2009-07-27 PKWare
  In today's business environment, enterprises must work even harder than before to protect one of their most valuable assets - their information. When facing the pressures of regulatory oversight, email security, business-to-business requirements, and increased threats to networked environments, organizations must be proactive in protecting their data. A single loss or breach of information can have a severe impact on an enterprise's brand and public image, on customer retention, new business attraction, and the tangible bottom line. It is these factors that are driving enterprises to understand how they can address these issues, immediately, diligently, and cost effectively.

whitepaper Why Outsourcing Your PKI Provides the Best Value: A Total Cost of Ownership Analysis2009-07-02 Entrust
  Once one conclude that one needs a certificate to exchange information online securely, turn on the security inherent in existing applications, or authenticate to users, computers, VPN, the Web, or buildings, the next point of determination is: how can I do this cost-effectively without forfeiting quality? The answer is simple: outsource Public Key Infrastructure (PKI). Why should one consider outsourcing rather than deploying an in-house Certification Authority (CA)? An internal CA can be expensive to deploy, operate, and maintain. Organizations require knowledgeable staff, a formal and binding set of policies and procedures, secure facilities, hardware that meets future extensibility requirements, and PKI software to create and manage certificates, to name a few.

whitepaper Sub-Prime PKI: Attacking Extended Validation SSL2009-07-01 Black Hat
  One of the attributes that the paper discusses is the type of SSL certificate presented by a web server when negotiating a secure connection. Modern web browsers support both Domain Validated (DV) and Extended Validation (EV) SSL certificates. EV SSL certificates were created to combat phishing and other web based spoofing attacks which succeed in spite of the DV SSL model for web site identification. The EV SSL model improves upon the DV model in two ways. First, certificate authorities enforce a more thorough off-line validation process in order to more accurately identify the agent requesting the certificate as the owner of the domain which the certificate is for.

whitepaper PKI and UDDI Based Trust Centre: An Attempt to Improve Web Service Security2009-06-29 University of Sfax
  Nowadays Internet becomes the most used tool for the ever increasing amount of various transactions between institutions, organizations and more generally between clients and providers. Conducted studies and experiments showed that it is more convenient to provide and achieve these transactions as Web Services (WS) to guarantee their flexibility and their reuse. So far these services and the corresponding providers' URLs are advertised on specific UDDIs (Universal Description, Discovery and Integration). As such, after finding the requested service any given client contacts the right provider to negotiate the service access procedure. These first contacts between clients and providers are usually and commonly not protected (Encrypted) yielding enough room for Hackers to intrude into these unprotected messages.

whitepaper The PKI Authentication System With the Integration of Biometric Identification and Nonsymmetric Key Technology2009-05-24 Academy Publisher
  To deal with the threats to the PKI authentication system from the internet and the real world, based on the analysis of biometric identification and nonsymmetric key technology, this paper presented a new PKI authentication system through the integration of Biometric identification and non-symmetric key technology, which assembled their advantages and made up their disadvantages to each other and formed a double-insurance for the E-commerce security. The most important of the system were the integration designs and measures for the private key, also principles and the processes needed were introduced.

whitepaper Earth System Grid Authentication Infrastructure: Integrating Local Authentication, OpenID and PKI2009-05-20 Oak Ridge National Laboratory
  Climate scientists face a wide variety of practical problems, but there exists an overarching need to efficiently access and manipulate climate model data. Increasingly, for example, researchers must assemble and analyze large datasets that are archived in different formats on disparate platforms, and must extract portions of datasets to compute statistical or diagnostic metrics in place. The need for a common virtual environment in which to access both climate model datasets and analysis tools is therefore keenly felt. The software infrastructure to support such an environment therefore not only must provide ready access to climate data but also must facilitate the use of visualization software, diagnostic algorithms, and related resources.

whitepaper Secure Email and PKI Certificate Management Made Easy by Comodo2009-04-27 Comodo
  Business-sensitive information is often distributed by unsecured email, and in doing so it's placed at risk. The same ease and utility that allows internal users, partners and customers to effectively communicate can be allowing confidential information to be in easy reach of those who want to profit from it. To a moderately skilled person, inside the organization or out, unsecured email is easy to read, impersonate and alter, and is not much different from a postcard written in pencil.

whitepaper Comodo Certificate Manager for PKI Administration: Centrally Managing Enterprise Security, Trust & Regulatory Compliance2009-04-27 Comodo
  Digital certificates (PKI) protect information assets by supporting data encryption, authentication and integrity while at rest or in-transport. Certificates enable user identity and access validation, SSL encryption, and are employed to digitally sign and authenticate web content, process documents, email messages and software programs. Orchestrating this broad landscape of preventive, protection technologies, centralized PKI administration provides for the rapid deployment and reliable management of Enterprise Security, Trust and Regulatory Compliance. Effective PKI Management enables one to confidently address security challenges, significantly reducing business risks, and operating costs.
