PKI

Public Key Infrastructure is a key tool for identity management and trusted communications environments for Governments. Whether as a tool to allow for automation of Government services or as an underpinning business infrastructure, we have a long heritage in the technologies and their applications.

Our people will have been involved in the building of the first PKI infrastructure in Ireland within PostGEM, subsidiary of An Post. Such news (from back in 1998!) is reported by Enterprise Ireland, the enterprise development agency in Ireland: http://www.nsd.ie/htm/news/story.php3?id=810.

Having built the first X.435 EDI trading hub in Europe, to the largest X.400 messaging provider in Ireland and supplier of international X.25 networks, the legacy technolgies inbuilt into PKI standards are well understood. While we will approach each requirement to design the optimal solution, we will typically utilise architectures deploying open LDAP databases as the key engine for interoperability and integration and capability for future scalability.

We focus mainly on the technology deployment with systems conforming to IETF standards including:
RFC 3280
RFC 3647
RFC 3739
RFC 2587
RFC 3628

We have recently been engaged to allow for identity management and secure communications for students in a school or home context to allow for applications including secure examinations online, and the creation of an ePortfolio.

SONAS Innovation works flexibly with complementary providers as neccessary with the aim of providing a centrally managed service for client Governments.

We are well networked to a number of global experts will have been involved at the highest levels of the industry from its emergence with Baltimore Technologies.

We have recently worked with each of these partners on a projects in a Middle Eastern country regarding the establishment of a certification infrastructure.
