A Public Key Infrastructure
is of paramount importance in view of
national and personal information security
in the information age and is a key component
in the Internet related information infrastructure.
With a myriad of vendors offering solutions
and software, customers are bound to lose
their way in determining the appropriate
solution to their needs. This problem
is further aggravated in the case of national
security where a country or a government
can get limited solutions based upon the
solution they choose thus becoming vendor-specific
and proprietary, instead of open and standards-based.
A PKI Test Bed is instrumental in providing
a neutral and independent assessment and
evaluation of all PKI solutions from various
vendors, especially for governmental needs.
COMPUSOL has been in the business of developing
Software Products, E-governance and Enterprise
Solutions in India, Middle East and other
parts of the globe. Among its solutions
include, implementation of CA Servers
from various vendors such as Microsoft,
RSA, Baltimore and Sun. COMPUSOL Labs,
the Research wing in COMPUSOL, has also
been pursuing the development of prototypes
of PKI solutions integrating various vendor
solutions and has successfully developed
and demonstrated indigenous PKI solutions
starting from the CA server, especially
to address the CA-CA interoperability,
XML based XKMS standards, and Root CA
related infrastructure.
COMPUSOL
also has an extensive software testing
practice, which is widely accepted in
the market for its coverage and depth.
Various customers, both in India and abroad,
have used our testing services to enhance
the value of their products and deliverable
to their customers. It
is with this rich experience and understanding
of PKI and testing that COMPUSOL now offers
to develop and setup a PKI test bed for
various government organizations.
