The key to enforcing security and administrative policies is to make it simple and transparent for users. As the backbone of Entrust's Enterprise Desktop Solution, Entrust Entelligence Desktop Manager makes it possible to move critical business processes to the Internet without compromising security.

Entrust Entelligence delivers:

• Single sign-on across all secured enterprise applications
• Identification and verification
• Enhanced Security Management
• Interoperability

Single sign-on across all secured enterprise applications
Unlike other products that require the use of different IDs and passwords for each operation, Entrust Entelligence provides users with Single Sign-on (SSO) capabilities to all secure applications. Users only need one digital ID and one password to send secure e-mail, to encrypt and digitally sign data files, to access secure Web sites and much more. With fewer passwords to remember, users will find security easy which means less help desk calls.

Identification and verification
Entelligence provides encryption and digital signature capabilities to achieve positive identification of users, verification of the users' identities and confidence in the security of information that a user digitally signs. Each user is provided with a unique digital ID that is used to seamlessly integrate security into desktop applications.

Enhanced Security Management
Unlike basic enterprise security products that burden users with difficult tasks such as choosing which key should be used to decrypt data, deciding whether a certificate is valid and trusted, and requesting updated certificates each year, Entrust Entelligence automatically and transparently manages the digital ID and performs security checks on behalf of the user. All key and certificate updates, maintenance of key histories, key backups, revocation checks and name changes happen automatically and transparently to the user. This helps to reduce your administrative costs and make security easier to use.

Interoperability
Entrust Entelligence deploys capabilities to the desktop that enable PKI-aware applications to take full advantage of Netrust’s Public Certificate Authority (CA) infrastructure.

Through the implementation of industry standards such as PKCS#12, x.509, PKIX, S/MIME, PKCS, IPSec, LDAP, GSS-API, Java JDK and more, the Desktop Manager provides for a single, interoperable and enhanced security layer across all applications.

For enhanced security and interoperability, the Desktop Manager provides a broad range of algorithms developed both in North America and in Europe.
