Kyberpass e-Transaction TrustPlatform for the Identrus System Completes Testing
Kyberpass Transaction Coordinator to be
installed in the Identrus Vendor Environment
OTTAWA, ON Ú April 9, 2001
- KyberpassÐ Corporation, a leading provider of e-security software for
trusted e-business, today announced that the Kyberpass Transaction Coordinator,
has successfully completed Identrus interoperability testing at the Identrusæ
labs in New York City. Identrus, founded in April 1999, is creating a
worldwide network of trusted financial institutions to remove the final
obstacle to business-to-business e-commerce: trust in a trading partner's
identity.
The Kyberpass Transaction Coordinator will soon join products from iPlanet
(Nasdaq:SUNW) and ValiCert (Nasdaq:VLCT) in the Identrus Vendor Environment.
This product acts as the transaction hub of the Identrus system, directing
messages to certificate check, warranty, or other back-end systems and
collating responses to the customer.
"The Kyberpass Transaction Coordinator enables financial institutions
to facilitate financial and non-financial commercial transactions across
the Internet with the highest degree of trust," said Kristin Kupres, COO
of Identrus LLC. "We are pleased to include Kyberpass as a Transaction
Coordinator in our Vendor Environment and congratulate them on having
completed our rigorous interoperability test suite."
The Identrus system is expected to grow to include 300 of the world's
largest financial institutions, in addition to Level 2 members, which
are expected to number into the thousands. Each Identrus member will be
required to have a Transaction Coordinator as part of its Identrus infrastructure.
The Identrus Transaction Coordinator is one part of the Kyberpass e-Transaction
TrustPlatformæ, the only fully integrated —four-cornerÈ model currently
available from a single software vendor developing solutions for the Identrus
system.
The Kyberpass e-Transaction TrustPlatform for the Identrus system is a
suite of fifth-generation e-security software products that unleash the
power of the Identrus PKI-based system by enabling rapid and transparent
integration of security and trust functions for applications, without
any development, use of PKI toolkits, or platform modifications.
Kyberpass provides all of the software components
that a financial institution requires to participate in the Identrus system
including:
Kyberpass Transaction Coordinator Ú A flexible, reliable, and
scalable application platform that provides value-added services and Identrus
enabled trust.
Kyberpass OCSP Responder Ú An Online Certificate Status
Protocol checker that provides real time certificate validation services
to financial institutions and their customers.
Kyberpass Trust Services Gateway (Digital Signature Messaging
System) - An easily integrated application gateway that enables
trusted e-Business applications.
Kyberpass K2æ Trust Agent Ú An easy to use signing utility
that integrates digital signatures and non-repudiation into Identrus B2B
transactions.
To create trust in a trading partner«s identity, Identrus financial institutions
certify their corporate customers as trading partners on the Internet.
These trading partners use the Identrus system to conclusively identify
one another through their financial institutions, ensure their communications
are secure, and create an indisputable record of their transactions. With
these capabilities, they can conduct Internet business with confidence,
opening new markets around the world and lowering transaction costs. The
infrastructure is open to financial institutions, their corporate customers,
solution providers and security vendors around the world.
Pricing and Availability
The Kyberpass e-Transaction TrustPlatform including Transaction Coordinator
will be widely available in April 2001. Platforms supported include Solaris
and Windows NT/2000.
