It's extremely easy to set-up and use and allows you to begin issuing trusted Digital Certificates in just a few days rather than the months needed to build a robust PKI from scratch. It enables enterprises to secure a single type of application - e-mail, intranet, extranet, or eCommerce. If you require security for multiple applications, for large numbers of users, or you require advanced features, please see VeriSign Managed PKI from BT.

For information on the benefits of using Managed PKI please click here.

Included in Managed PKI Lite are;

• Certification Authority - a single CA configurable to issue Certificates for one type of application, for example access control to an extranet, or for e-mail security.
• Public or Private Hierarchy - select as appropriate to your needs.
• Manual Administrator Kit - Administrator Digital Certificate enabling secure online control of the service plus, smart card and smart card reader included with certain options.

Public - Buy Now
Public digital certificates are suited to organisations wishing to secure e-mail messages as well as enable access to intranets, extranets, or e-commerce applications on a broad scale. Public digital certificates are interoperable, allowing you to also communicate outside of your private domain.

Private - Buy Now
Private digital certificates are suited to internal applications and allow you to restrict access to areas of your network. Since they are not interoperable with Internet-wide applications such as major browsers, servers and e-mail packages, private digital certificates allow for greater control in a closed network.

VeriSign Manged PKI from BT lets you create and control your own digital certificates through a simple web-based tool. The infrastructure can be automatically upgraded whenever necessary to accommodate growth, so the system will not become overloaded, or obsolete.

Digital certificates are issued directly by a trusted third party, BT. You decide who gets the Certificates - from staff and customers to suppliers and trading partners - and we do the rest, providing expertise, management resources and support, including cryptographic hardware, software and a secure infrastructure.

Your website can even be designed to recognise your certificate holders, so when they logon, they are immediately directed to relevant areas. For more information on Managed PKI and how to select the right approach to implementing your own PKI, please read our Free Guide.

Benefits of the Managed PKI Service

Enterprise application security requires more than just software and servers. But it takes considerable time and expense to build a sophisticated Trust infrastructure. Why attempt to do it yourself when you can benefit from BT's investment and expertise?

Easy to Set-up & Maintain: Fast installation time compared to in-house solutions. Once up and running, simply approve or reject your end user Certificate requests. BT can issue certificates based on your authentication criteria.

Fully managed: We provide a fully-managed service from our highly secure Operations Centre, so you can take advantage of our investment in security at a fraction of the cost of a do-it-yourself option.

Cost Effective: The plug-and-play apporach makes it easy to integrate Managed PKI into your organisation without major infrastructure investment. So no need for special hardware or software, time, or personnel to set up and maintain the system.

Control: Provides all the services, applications support and management tools you need to run a robust Certification Authority, giving your administrators full control over the issuing or withdrawal of certificates whenever they want.

Worry Free: We’ll provide the back-end cryptographic hardware, software, ongoing key management and secure infrastructure required to issue and manage digital certificates.

Flexible: With the Enterprise PKI solution, you can begin with a few hundred certificates and grow to hundreds of thousands without having to worry about upgrades or scaleability. Our Managed PKI Lite solution is designed for smaller scale deployments from 25 up to 1000 users, that can be ordered online and implemented quickly.

Support: We provide all necessary software modules to support and automate administration. There's no need for extensive training. The software is compatible with the latest web and e-mail applications and your end users can enrol from their own PCs.

So instead of building a security infrastructure, simply control it and let BT do the rest.

Robust security for your private networks, that grows with your business

Virtual Private Networks (VPNs) allow a company to extend their local network to connect branch offices, remote users, business partners and customers via the Internet. As with all other types of networks, VPNs are also vulnerable to attack by hackers and cyber-criminals. IPSec (Internet Protocol Security), an industry standard, enables these networks to be secured through encryption providing confidentiality and integrity.

VeriSign Trusted IPSec from BT strengthens the security into such VPNs to provide strong authentication and a scalable solution free of passwords.  Trusted IPSec is a managed digital certification service which takes our core PKI solution and integrates it into VPNs such as intranets and extranets, based on the IPSec industry standards. It gives you the ability to digitally authenticate every person or network device (such as firewalls and routers) seeking to link onlne to your corporate networks and systems, with the option to scale up from a handful to a million certificates.

Key Benefits and Features

• Control - you control the issuance of your digital certificates; we manage the service for you.
• Easy to deploy - set up quickly without extensive training and configuration; the service provides intuitive tools for managing certificates.
• Scalability - as your business grows, centralised control and reporting, customisable validity periods, and rapid turnaround make it easy to issue all the certificates necessary for devices and clients. You can have from as few as 25 users or network devices with Trusted IPSec Lite up to a million with Trusted IPSec Enterprise.
• Low cost of ownership - you only pay for the size and scale you want.
• Flexibility - adapt certificate enrolment, renewal, or revocation requirements as needed.
• Reliability - using industry standard digital certificates backed by VeriSign, a market leader in PKI systems, operations are run from a high-security facility with specially trained, security-vetted personnel and back-up systems.
• Managed service - we provide a managed outsourced CA (Certification Authority) without the need for you to either build the secure location and infrastructure required nor to implement and manage the CA yourselves.

What is IPSec ?
IPSec, standing for Internet Protocol Security, is a framework of open standards for securing private communications on the Internet. It establishes secure, encrypted communications at the network level between firewalls, routers and remote access devices. The IPSec standard ensures :

• authentication - validating the identities of communicating parties;
• integrity - protecting data from alteration en route; and
• privacy - safeguarding information from interception.

Though IPSec can use either "shared secret keys" or PKI for initiating a secure communication, shared secret keys cannot scale beyond a handful of devices. A PKI (Public Key Infrastructure) solution - Trusted IPSec - enables your organisation to easily and quickly issue as many Digital Certificates as your network demands.

Compatibility
Many vendors have implemented certificate lifecycle management components into their VPN gateways, firewalls, routers and desktop clients by employing industry standard protocols. This allows them to work seamlessly with VeriSign Trusted IPSec from BT without having to incorporate and support proprietary, single vendor oriented components into their products. The time to deployment of the highly available infrastructure of Trusted IPSec can be leveraged by vendors using the following protocols : CAPI, CRS, CSR, PKCS 7, PKCS10, PKCS12 and SCEP.

Installation Support
The Trusted IPSec Lite service can be applied for directly from the BT Trust Services web site, through a web-based service enrolment form. The request would then be authenticated and verified by BT Trust Services prior to issue. After configuration of the service, IPSec digital certificates can be issued and installed onto network devices such as routers, firewalls and gateways.

Due to the complex nature of network devices, it is strongly recommended that application and installation of the service, as well as IPSec certificates, be carried out by a qualified engineer who is well versed in the technology. If required, additional support for installing IPSec certificates onto devices can be obtained from the device vendor.
