Kyberpass® and Chrysalis-ITS® Partner to Provide Seamless
Transaction Security for Electronic Business Applications
Combined e-Transaction Products and Hardware
Security Modules Deliver the Highest Security, High Performance
and Low Cost of Ownership for Banks, Governments and Enterprise
Customers
Ottawa, Ontario - December 3, 2001 –
Chrysalis-ITS, the leading provider of trusted
hardware security modules (HSMs) for e-business, and Kyberpass, a leading
provider of e-security software for trusted
e-business, today announced they have integrated their products to provide a
highly secure, high performance electronic transaction solution. The combined
offering provides an easily implemented, low total cost of ownership, security
solution for financial institutions, government agencies and enterprise
customers who are implementing PKI-based transaction applications.
As part of this partnership, Chrysalis-ITS HSMs, Luna® CA3
and Luna XPplus have been seamlessly integrated to add private key
protection and high speed digital signing to Kyberpass« e-Transaction
TrustPlatform™ products.
"Kyberpass puts great effort into ensuring our leading TrustPlatform™
products are interoperable with our partners. Chrysalis-ITS is the
global leader for HSMs. Joint customers will benefit from a fast,
secure, seamless transaction solution with low cost of ownership
- all the integration work is done for them," said Robert Lendvai,
Vice President of Marketing at Kyberpass. "We like Chrysalis-ITS
HSMs because they go beyond standard FIPS validation, using a series
of best practices to provide the highest possible hardware security
for digital identities."
"Financial and government customers will benefit from our partnership
with Kyberpass when they use our pre-integrated HSM products to
secure online transaction functions like the Certificate Authority
(CA), Registration Authority (RA), Transaction Coordinator and OCSP
Responder." said Randy Kun, Vice President of Marketing and
Product Line Management at Chrysalis-ITS. "Our integration
with Kyberpass provides a winning solution for secure high-speed
online transactions."
Kyberpass e-Transaction TrustPlatform™ includes the Trust
Services Manager and the Trust Services Gateway. The Trust Services
Manager is an integrated XML Transaction Coordinator and OCSP (Online
Certificate Status Protocol) Responder that secures e-business transactions
by validating the source of the transactions and routing them to
their respective service handlers for interaction with the organization«s
mainframes and servers. The Trust Services Gateway is an XML-based
digital signature messaging that applies digital signatures to all
transactions to ensure their authenticity and integrity throughout
the system.
Both these products require the use of sensitive private encryption
keys to perform digital signing operations. Luna CA3 and Luna XPplus
HSMs from Chrysalis-ITS are used to offload the private key generation,
storage and signing operations from the Kyberpass software. Key
management is performed inside the Chrysalis-ITS FIPS 140-1 Level
3 validated HSMs to deliver highly secure key protection and high
performance digital signing operations.
