Entrust has introduced a new method ‘IdentityGuard’ for adding digital certificates to mobile devices, with device authentication, network access (VPN), SMIME and application security, all with self-service capabilities.
The self-service module enables end-users to add certificates to their own mobile devices via an easy-to-use interface for advanced certificate-based authentication.
The new module allows enterprises to provide authenticated access to VPNs, internal applications or networks, as well as enabling email decryption and signing, all on a user’s mobile device.
The issued digital certificate adds yet another layer of security to the enterprise environment by serving as a unique identifier.
Authorised employees, staff or contractors can enroll their mobile devices by simply log in to the Entrust IdentityGuard Self Service Module.
Digital certificates are issued to them in real-time from the organisation’s in-house Entrust certification authority (CA) or Entrust’s popular hosted PKI service.
The hosted PKI offering enables organisations to control access to resources, prevent theft of information and comply with privacy and digital signature regulations.
The new module supports the Apple iPhone, Apple iPad, Android, BlackBerry, BlackBerry and PlayBook among other devices.
