SSH Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) technology strengthens TeamWARE Intranet Security Server (TWISS) as the leading Virtual Private Network (VPN) product for teleoperators and corporations, providing strong security for remote and mobile users.

TeamWARE Group, a fully owned subsidiary of Fujitsu, has today announced that it has licensed the SSH X.509 Certificate tools, developed by SSH Communications Security. This will be used in TeamWARE's entire security product portfolio, including IPSec based remote access and VPN Solutions, as well as PKI integrated messaging and workstation protection solutions.

SSH Communications Security is a major player in the Internet protocol security field, providing solutions for demanding networking applications. "PKI, as a commonly acknowledged trust infrastructure, will create a huge market potential. Therefore TeamWARE wants to support PKI and open standards, such as IPSec/IKE and S/MIME, in its security products. Licensing PKI technology from SSH does not only mean having the best software, but also excellent service" says Hannu Eronen, Product Manager for the security products in TeamWARE Group.

"We are delighted that TeamWARE has selected the SSH X.509 Certificate tools as part of their solution. Providing full PKI interoperability in addition to the current scalability, maintainability, and ease-of-use of TWISS creates a perfect remote access and VPN solution for teleoperators and Internet service providers" comments Tatu Ylönen, President and CEO of SSH Communications Security.

Certificates are the only truly scalable method for authenticating people and computers over the Internet. PKI which manages these digital certificates has become a common way of authentication in companies and other organizations and the demand for it is expected to grow rapidly in the near future.

TWISS provides remote and mobile users with a secure connection to corporate Intranets, by authenticating and encrypting connections across the Internet or any other public network. This Intranet solution offers companies a comprehensive and robust security service, including client/server architecture, authentication with support for smart cards, access control, data sealing, and very strong data encryption without US export restrictions. Moreover, TWISS is simple to administrate and use and provides application transparency and network independence.
