Digital ID
A crucial element in transacting business via networks is what is
frequently referred to as 'trust': do I know for sure who I am doing
business with? Is the transaction binding? Are my business relationships
secure and confidential?
Siemens issues certificates (known as digital IDs) for employees and for
Siemens Web sites. These identify a person or server unequivocally and
unambiguously, and comply with ITU Standard X.509V3.
Siemens has set up a Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) to issue
certificates, with rules for ascertaining and checking the identity of
the person or server in question. A Certification Authority then
confirms this identity by appending its digital signature at the bottom
of the certificate for the person or server.
If you receive a Siemens certificate electronically, e.g. by e-mail, and
want to check its authenticity, simply compare the signature on the
certificate you received with the original signature of the Siemens
Certification Authority.
