QuoVadis and Kyberpass Enhance Risk Management for Offshore e-business
Kyberpass Validation TrustPlatform to provide real-time validation of digital certificates and digital signatures for leading offshore certificate authority
HAMILTON, Bermuda and OTTAWA, July
9, 2001 – QuoVadis Limited, the world’s
first offshore commercial digital certificate authority, and Kyberpass®,
a leading provider of e-security software for trusted e-business,
today announced the Kyberpass Validation TrustPlatform™ has
been selected to provide real-time validation capabilities for QuoVadis’
digital certificate customers. The Kyberpass Validation TrustPlatform
validates digital certificates and digital signatures for securing
electronic business applications.
“While reputable offshore companies pursue the efficiencies
of electronic business, they increasingly use digital certificates
for superior security and to fulfill ‘know your client’
obligations. Our combined solution allows corporations to check
the validity of digital certificates, in much the same way a retailer
verifies credit cards,” said Tony Nagel, CEO of QuoVadis.
“We selected Kyberpass for their responsiveness and proven
ability to help real world businesses rapidly implement complex
digital certificate technology. Many first-generation OCSP-based
products simply validate the certificate. By contrast, the Kyberpass
Validation TrustPlatform can also validate the digital signature
and other digital credentials. These features help our corporate
customers – and their clients – manage the risks of doing
business online,” he continued.
Based in Bermuda, QuoVadis’ clients include some of the largest
names in Bermuda’s insurance market, as well as respected companies
from across the offshore world. As one of the first countries to
legalize the use of digital signatures, Bermuda is now joined by
more than 70 countries that have enacted similar legislation. QuoVadis’
location in Bermuda provides a neutral jurisdiction for global online
businesses.
“Trusted online transactions are the key to successful e-business
and QuoVadis is delivering trust by relying on Kyberpass to provide
a vital component of its certificate authority,’ said Robert
Lendvai, vice president of marketing at Kyberpass. “By coupling
identity services with Kyberpass real-time certificate validation,
QuoVadis is providing a complete Internet-based trust framework
for clients across the world.”
