The Secardeo TOPKI platform provides the automated distribution and management of digital certificates. S/MIME user certificates for end-to-end e-mail encryption and signature with Outlook or other mail clients can be requested with TOPKI from the connected public CAs. This is done either via the native Windows client-based autoenrollment or via server-based autoenrollment with central key pair generation in TOPKI. After a certificate has expired, a user automatically receives a renewed certificate and therefore needs the complete key history to decrypt old e-mails.
With the new software component certWin Client, the local Windows certificate store of the logged-in user is automatically synchronized with the complete key history from the central TOPKI key archive via REST API. This also happens when logging on to other Windows systems, so that the user always has access to all encrypted e-mails regardless of the workstation and can digitally sign and encrypt new e-mails without any effort.
"With the certWin Client, PKI policies can be implemented for a complete server-side certificate autoenrollment for S/MIME, thus minimizing operating and help desk costs," says Dr. Gunnar Jacobson, CEO of Secardeo.
The TOPKI platform also offers other services for the automated distribution of S/MIME certificates to mobile devices as well as for the secure publication and automated retrieval of external certificates for global end-to-end encryption
