Arcot announced yesterday that Identrus has certified Arcot’s ArcotID software smart card for secure authentication and digital signing.
The Arcot approach relies on the ArcotID software smart card to strongly authenticate users and digitally sign transactions, performing all the functions of a traditional, physical smart card but in a software format. Using Arcot‚s patented camouflage approach to securing a private key, the Arcot ID securely protects a user‚s credential in a tamper-proof software container, while providing the end user the maximum flexibility and convenience by virtue of its portability and roaming capability.
