DUBLIN, Ireland--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 2, 1999-- Baltimore Technologies (Nasdaq:BALT - news; London:BLM) a global leader in e-commerce and enterprise security solutions today announced that it will provide support for the Sun(TM) Solaris(TM) Operating Environment in the Certificate Authority (CA) module of its UniCERT(TM) PKI system. This collaboration between Sun Microsystems and Baltimore Technologies will make Baltimore UniCERT widely available to users of the highly reliable and highly available Sun platform.
The decision to also provide a CA module for the Solaris Operating Environment was based on its UNIX© market leadership and widespread use around the world, including major banks and telecommunication companies. UniCERT's distributed architecture enables users to run its various modules on separate systems throughout a network. The Solaris Operating Environment and Sun Enterprise(TM) server family has proven itself to be a reliable and robust platform for mission critical systems. Running the core UniCERT module on Sun Systems will enable Baltimore's customers to operate UniCERT in a highly reliable and distributed manner.
``Sun systems are deployed by leading organizations worldwide, and our support of Solaris recognizes the mission critical requirements of PKI and the need to support a wide variety of platforms. We look forward to a strong working relationship with Sun Microsytems that will allow us to deliver PKI security to the growing base of Sun customers,' commented John O'Sullivan, Executive Vice President of Engineering at Baltimore Technologies.
``PKI is rapidly becoming one of the key security infrastructure choices for a wide variety of network applications. Sun Microsystems is very motivated to work with Baltimore Technologies, and to enable our customers with a leading PKI system provided by Baltimore UniCERT worldwide,' said Reed Hornberger, Director, Market Development, Sun Microsystems.
Baltimore UniCERT is the CA of choice for both enterprise and Commercial CA's worldwide. It is one of the world's leading products for the issuance and management of digital certificates, which act like ``electronic passports' for authenticating entities engaged in electronic business. UniCERT's open, standards based architecture and flexible, scalable, policy driven design uniquely addresses the hierarchical, interoperable business requirements of today's enterprises.
The integrated UniCERT/Solaris solution will be demonstrated on Sun Microsystems booth at Global e-Security '99 this week in Dublin. Commercial availability of the product is scheduled for later this month.
