NEWTON, MA – January 25, 2010 – ChosenSecurity and idOnDemand today announced a partnership under which idOnDemand will use ChosenSecurity’s globally trusted digital certificates as part of its integrated smartcard offerings for physical and network environments. Digital certificates enable a wide range of trust for applications: controlling authorization and access to physical and digital assets, protecting against data leakage and supporting compliance with privacy, e-signature and other identity regulations. They provide applications with strong authentication, secure email, digital signatures and data encryption capabilities. By combining digital certificates with smart cards, enterprises get a total solution to their authentication, encryption and digital signing needs.
idOnDemand enables customers to simply deploy and use a secure, multi-purpose, smart identity and access card managed solution. It addresses the needs of most organizations that struggle with the cost and complexity of installing, managing and using a multi-function smartcard infrastructure.
