October 26, 1998
M2 PRESSWIRE via NewsEdge Corporation : Powerful combination of VeriSign OnSite and JetForm FormFlow 99 streamlines business processes for corporate networks, intranets, extranets and the Internet
VeriSign, Inc., the leading provider of public key infrastructure (PKI) and digital certificate solutions, and JetForm Corporation, the global leader in secure Web workflow and electronic forms solutions for the enterprise, today announced an alliance to integrate VeriSign OnSite with JetForm FormFlow 99.
Available in November, the combined solution will enable enterprise customers to incorporate digital signature technology with electronic forms and transmit those forms - both Web-based and traditional
- across open networks as part of secure workflows that connect employees, business partners, and customers.
Using VeriSign's digital certificate technology, companies will be able to maintain the authentication and integrity of forms so that the associated workflow process is secure. Users will be able to electronically sign forms with a digital signature -- in lieu of "wet" or physical signatures - which speeds the workflow process without compromising security.
As a result of this combination, companies can more easily deploy enterprise workflow and inter-enterprise commerce applications that have numerous participants and roles.
"Our enterprise customers demand that their customer-facing processes maintain the integrity and confidentiality of their information," said Carlos Fox, senior vice president of marketing at JetForm. "Using VeriSign's expertise in providing open PKI security solutions, our customers can raise workflow automation to new levels of security."
"Customers demand the same level of confidence regarding the integrity and confidentiality of online forms as they do with paper records," said Richard Yanowitch, vice president of marketing at VeriSign. "Through our alliance with JetForm, we can provide enterprises with the security and privacy they require to conduct secure Web workflow within an open PKI."
VeriSign OnSite
VeriSign OnSite allows an enterprise to quickly and cost-effectively deploy a fully-operational PKI to establish itself as a certificate authority (CA). OnSite allows enterprises to customise digital certificates for use by employees, customers or business partners to securely access intranet and extranet applications and to digitally sign and encrypt electronic mail.
OnSite combines front-end PKI software with VeriSign's highly scaleable certificate processing services, including full audit and archive capabilities, data and network security, disaster recovery, and corporate customer service - providing enterprises with full control over the digital certificate authentication, issuance and lifecycle management process. The solution also enables organisations to issue certificates under their own private hierarchy or as part of the VeriSign Trust Network - the world's largest network of interoperable digital certificates. Since OnSite is based on open PKI, enterprises can gain broad interoperability, rapid time-to-market, significant cost savings, and scalability across intranet, extranet and Internet commerce applications - benefits unattainable with proprietary, stand-alone PKI software.
