SINGAPORE, Jan. 11 --PRNewswire-AsiaNet/Infoquest

With widespread adoption of the new legal framework guaranteeing Asia

Pacific (APAC)-wide recognition of electronic signatures, Microsoft Corporation

and WISeKey today announced an unprecedented growth in the deployment of PKI

(public key infrastructure framework), a jointly developed digital signature

solution based on Microsoft Windows Server 2003, in APAC. Countries that have

deployed PKI successfully include China (Sinotrans) and Korea (World Trade

center). This follows the announcement in Europe where WISeKey collaborated

with Microsoft EMEA to deliver a secure Trusted PKI Platform for e-government

applications

"Governments in the APAC region have recognised the need to change their

procedures to provide services and information centered on the citizen. By

harnessing the advances in technology -- making services more accessible

through multiple channels and more responsive by providing joined up services

-- the citizen has access to information relating to services through a unique

point of contact," said Peter Moore, Managing Director -- Public Sector, Asia

Pacific, Microsoft Corporation.

"To address the resultant issues and challenges raised by the move to

Information Age government, WISeKey and Microsoft have developed a public

sector strategy that brings their combined technologies, applications and

skills together to enable all tiers of Public Services to move towards

electronic government" he added.

The WISeKey-Microsoft E-Government Solution based on Windows Server 2003 is

a suite of applications providing a breadth of functionality with the double

objective of communicating actively to the citizen or business as well as to

gather knowledge about the citizen or business within the community, and then

use this to provide a better degree of service provision.

The "secret" of WISeKey is its institutional framework endorsed by

International Organizations, Governments and Standard Bodies, its location

within a neutral country (Switzerland), its unique policies oriented towards

security and neutrality across the world and its leveraging of this position by

using Microsoft Windows Server 2003 as a digital certificate authority (CA) for

the secure and mass deployment of digital certificates. In combination with

WISeKey's overall approach, the CA built into Windows Server, originally

designed to manage end-user licenses, can issue digital certificates for a

fraction of the cost of a traditional certificate authority systems and

providers.

According to WISeKey Chairman and Co-Chief Executive Carlos Moreira, "The

combination of Windows Server 2003 and WISeKey technology can be implemented

for less than $20,000, creating a full identity infrastructure which until

recently would have cost $1 million or more."

Several Asia Pacific countries are presently implementing this technology

such as Sinotrans in China for a nation-wide E-Portal using the

WISeKey-Microsoft Trusted Platform and Federated Digital ID to allow a Single

Sign On access to its numerous services and portals. Also at Vitranet in

Vietnam where WISeKey is assisting in developing a National Public Key

Infrastructure using Vitranet as the Certification Authority. The World Trade

Center E-Commerce Platform developed in cooperation with World Trade Centers in

the Asia Pacific region and in particular the World Trade center Seoul and WTC

in China is another example where WISeKey Trusted Platform is used to establish

a secure e-marketplace allowing World Trade Centers and Trade promotion

Organizations to trade securely and perform their Trade facilitation

activities. In the medium to long term, the Microsoft-WISeKey partnership aims

to provide Asia Pacific customers the core security upon which the deployment

of secure computing platforms will be undertaken by providing manufacturers,

service providers, organizations, application developers and others to manage

digital certificates for persons, organizations and devices.
