SSH Brings Interoperable, Low-Cost Digital Certificate and PKI Solution to OEMs, Enterprise Users and ISPs

SSH Communications Security (SSH), the world-leading developer of Internet security technologies and developer of the Secure Shell standard, today announced the immediate availability of SSH® Certifier™, an application software package for issuing and managing digital certificates within an organization's PKI (Public Key Infrastructure). SSH Certifier is the first digital certificate application of its kind to interface with the most common commercial databases through the ODBC (Open Database Connectivity) standard, providing enterprises and ISPs with a cost-effective way to secure confidential data within their existing networks and database systems without investing in additional network infrastructure.

SSH Certifier builds on the IETF's (Internet Engineering Task Force) PKI X.509 standard, an initiative designed to promote interoperability among different vendors' PKI authentication products and services. SSH Certifier can be used to issue and manage IPSec (Internet Protocol Security) certificates for both individual users and network devices within VPNs (Virtual Private Networks) and OEM systems targeting corporate enterprise environments and ISPs. SSH Certifier also features Web-based configuration tools, allowing network administrators to easily install and manage digital certificates from a central or remote location.

According to George Adams, president and CEO of SSH, Inc., "We are extremely pleased that our highly-anticipated SSH Certifier is now available for purchase. Only recently has security become such a critical priority for businesses that need to ensure the confidentiality of their communications. With Certifier, we can offer our customers the most cost-effective solution to manage their security, without investing the money on additional database and directory services required with other vendors' products."

Product Pricing

Different pricing models offer OEM vendors, service providers and enterprise IT organizations an attractive and cost-efficient way to utilize the vast possibilities of PKI. All pricing models include the SSH Certifier software, comprehensive documentation, start-up training, and strong technical support.
