"With Identrus Express, financial institutions can be confident they are getting proven infrastructure technology that has passed through rigorous independent testing. By working with leading players in the field Identrus Express offers financial institutions a quick deployment option enabling them to focus on their core business and B2B offerings," commented Kristin Kupres, Chief Operating and Technology officer at Identrus. "Baltimore Technologies has an excellent reputation in e-security, particularly amongst financial institutions and therefore makes an ideal Identrus Express partner."

Baltimore's e-security products and Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) systems are already being used by financial institutions worldwide to provide customers with a trusted environment for secure communications and online transactions. Now, as an Identrus Express partner, Baltimore will offer PKI hosting as an option for Identrus institutions seeking to outsource their e-security infrastructure, saving time and money. Under this model, Baltimore will host the certificate management system, validation server (on-line certificate status) and other required Identrus components on behalf of the financial institution. In turn, through a relationship with these Identrus financial institutions, and using e-security solutions, companies will be able to confidently implement new methods of e-business practice and attract new customers and suppliers while reducing costs and offloading much of the complexities of e-business.

The Identrus Express program includes leading e-security vendors that can offer a fast, easy and affordable way for financial institutions to establish a complete outsourced security infrastructure for e-business.

"Identrus Express is designed to ensure financial institutions can quickly establish an e-security infrastructure with reduced capital costs while leveraging best of breed technology from the leaders in the field. Financial institutions benefit on three fronts, namely time to market, lower costs and the highest standards in e-security technology. Baltimore's e-security technology is already being used by financial institutions worldwide, most recently by Banco Santander who is also a member of the Identrus system. Through this program we look forward to working with Identrus to make it easier for financial institutions to adopt e-security for e-business," said Aidan Gallagher, Executive Vice President of Global Business Development at Baltimore Technologies.

Based on Baltimore's award winning UniCERT certificate management system, UniCERT Options, provides PKI offerings that allow businesses to choose products and services to match their e-security and e-business needs. UniCERT Options simplifies the deployment of PKI by allowing an organization to match its time-to-market, skill level, security profile and e-business strategy with its security needs. In addition, this flexible offering enables an organization to migrate between deployment methods (e.g., move from outsourcing to hybrid to in-house) as its organizational and business needs evolve.
