whitepaper Customer Support Improved Via Convenient Identification and Authorization of Avaya Technicians2008-02-03 Verisign
  A global leader in secure and reliable Internet Protocol telephony systems and communications software applications and services, Avaya, Inc. serves more than one million businesses. When the company embarked on the design of a new identification and authorization mechanism for its sizable technician workforce, critical success factors were to ensure security and integrity, as well as gaining full customer acceptance and comfort with the proposed solution. VeriSign Managed PKI (MPKI) and VeriSign Unified Authentication (UA) with VeriSign Multipurpose Next-Generation Tokens helped Avaya achieve this, and more.

whitepaper Elliptic Curve PKI: An Exploration of the Benefits and Challenges of a PKI Based on Elliptic Curve Cryptography2008-02-01 Entrust
  Public-key cryptography has achieved enormous success in protecting users from identity theft resulting from transactions on the Web, e-mail correspondence and VPN sessions. But, it is well accepted in information security circles that cryptographic algorithm strength erodes with time, as the computing power available to cryptanalysts increases and the cryptanalytic techniques they use improve. Security architects respond to this trend by specifying larger key sizes, and since the computing power available to the legitimate user also increases with time, the attendant performance degradation is - at least partially - offset. This paper gives a brief introduction to elliptic curve cryptography, discusses its security and performance characteristics and considers the advantages of, and challenges associated with, rolling out, or transitioning to, a PKI based on ECC.

whitepaper PKI and Federation: Realizing the Best of Both Worlds2008-01-05 Ping Identity
  This technical paper, designed for solution architects and identity management consultants, compares and contrasts X.509 certificates as used within a Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) and federated identity deployments that leverage SAML, Open ID, or WS Federation. While X.509 is focused on authentication, federation delivers secure internet SSO and attribute sharing. However, while these technologies also have some overlaps, this paper points out how the two models are complementary.

whitepaper New Solution Helps City Strengthen IT Security, Automate Software Distribution2008-01-01 Microsoft
  As part of an ongoing effort to operate more efficiently, the City of Tampere wants to make more information and services available online while strengthening IT security. Additionally, the city wants to better manage its systems using limited IT resources. In 2007, Tampere made plans to upgrade 6,500 client computers to the Windows Vista operating system, and it began deploying the Windows Server 2008 Enterprise operating system on test servers. The city also decided to implement a Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) to help protect information that is exchanged across applications, internal networks, and the Internet.

whitepaper Rabobank Secures Mobile Workplaces With McAfee Endpoint Encryption (Formerly SafeBoot Encryption)2008-01-01 McAfee
  The Rabobank Group is a Dutch cooperative financial services provider with a wide range of financial services and products. The local Rabobanks that grew from the cooperatives have a long tradition in the agricultural sector and small to medium-sized businesses. The Bank wanted to secure customer and corporate information on every laptop in the company. Rabobanks Implemented McAfee Endpoint Encryption on all laptops and link the software to a PKI smartcard log-in for 45,000 employees.

whitepaper Role Sharing in Password-Enabled PKI2007-12-01 James Madison University
  Password-enabled PKI schemes simplify the management of end users' private keys by storing them in password-protected form on a centralized on-line server. Under such schemes an end user needs only remember his password and can access his private key from anywhere the centralized server is available. Existing password-enabled PKI schemes are based on the single-user model where a private key is owned by one user. This paper presents mechanisms to support role sharing in password-enabled PKI. In these schemes, using passwords only, a group of users share the privileges of a role through sharing the private key of that role. A hybrid password-enabled PKI scheme is developed, which supports both easy password change and misuse monitoring.

whitepaper PKI-Lite: A PKI System With Limited Resources2007-12-01 Middle East Technical University
  The aim of this study is to give some ideas about how to construct a PKI system with limited resources. Such a PKI system can be applied for some compact organizations which don't have requirements for complying with industry or government standards. Such a PKI system provides safeguarding user information, protecting against malicious users, providing a safe domain environment and others. An example to such system is an educational organization. This study covers the topics to people for whom a PKI is appropriate for their organization, and how PKI can be deployed most effectively.   
whitepaper PKI: Ten Years Later2007-12-01 University of Ottawa
  This paper examines the history and evolution of so-called Public Key Infrastructure (PKI). It compares the original definition of PKI with a broader and more flexible definition that better reflects the variety of implementation philosophies available today. This current definition shows how the understanding of this technology has matured (although its essential characteristics have remained unchanged) and is derived, at least in part, from an evaluation and comparison of several quite different forms of PKI as well as a consideration of PKI criticisms over the years. The original definition of PKI may be dead or dying, but PKI technology continues to thrive as an extremely useful (and, in some cases, necessary) authentication solution.
