Systemneeds, in collaboration with VeriSign Japan, develops a Digital Certificate Bulk Generation & Automatic Delivery Service using Smart Cards & USB Tokens

Falls Church, VA

Systemneeds, Inc., a leading developer of Smart Card and biometric personal authentication security systems, has developed an automatic digital certificate generation service for VeriSign Japan’s “VeriSign Managed PKI”.  For bulk digital certificate generation, instead of simply outputting the confidential certificate data, the Systemneeds developed solution “WinSecure CGS Lite v. 4.0 for Passcode” administrator software safely stores digital certificates in ultra secure Smart Cards or USB tokens, and even offers automatic deliver of certificates, PIN’s, and tokens to end users.  For client management, “WinSecure PKI v. 4.0” provides a seamless and secure package.

The digital certificate generation service provided by VeriSign Japan involves: the customer sends their certificate building information via a network (internet) to VeriSign Japan’s Certificate Authority. VeriSign then proceeds to generate a digital certificate and returns this to the online customer. This process is typically done manually for each user, which is time taking and prone to error. Also, businesses have been recently incorporating Smart Cards and USB tokens to not only authenticate users, but to securely house the digital certificates. To attain the highest security in the storing of digital certificates in Smart Cards and USB tokens, industries are demanding an automated system in which end users don’t need to manage their own certificates, and where this vital data is not externally exposed. Also, when digital certificates expire and need renewal, businesses are seeking solutions where Smart Cards and Tokens don’t need to be returned, but can be automatically renewed.

Systemneeds has created a solution to meet these needs of the industry. The complete solution of the administrator software, “WinSecure CGS Lite v. 4.0 for Passcode” and the client software, “WinSecure PKI 4.0” easily and quickly generates digital certificates in bulk, automatically stores certificates in Smart Cards, tokens, or in PC’s, and automatically emails encrypted PIN’s and certificates to end users, or prints out such data for posting. From initial implementations to replacement solutions, WinSecure creates secure environment to support your digital certificate needs.

This system may be easily and efficiently operated entirely within the customer’s office, or certificate generation, PIN and token issuance and delivery may be outsourced to Systemneeds for companies wishing for a “hands-free” solution. The WinSecure CGS Lite 4.0 for Passcode and WinSecure PKI 4.0 provide affordable PKI solutions with very fast start up times for wireless networks, network log on, and remote access.
