Financial institutions

Authentication mechanisms based on digital certificates are used in business channels that require higher levels of trust. They consist of hardware tokens, such as a company or employee ID card, in which public key credentials are stored, and can be used in business channels with lower levels of security, along with other mechanisms, including those based on passwords.

Recognizing digital certificates, primarily those of foreign governments, also represents a service improvement to the client, as well as being a requirement in some regions. In Spain, for instance, the Law for Promotion of the Information Society (LISI) promotes the use of authentication digital certificates and electronic signatures.

As it is a technology recognized by just about the entire sector, many applications (corporate, partner and client applications) need it in different phases of the data life-cycle for the electronic signature or data encryption, as well as in the authentication processes.
