cryptography
Cryptography (from Greek kryptós, "hidden", and gráphein, "to write") is, traditionally, the study of means of converting information from its normal, comprehensible form into an incomprehensible format, rendering it unreadable without secret knowledge - the art of encryption. In the past, cryptography helped ensure secrecy in important communications, such as those of spies, military leaders, and diplomats. In recent decades, the field of cryptography has expanded its remit in two ways. Firstly, it provides mechanisms for more than just keeping secrets: schemes like digital signatures and digital cash, for example. Secondly, cryptography has come to be in widespread use by many civilians who do not have extraordinary needs for secrecy, although typically it is transparently built into the infrastructure for computing and telecommunications, and users are not aware of it.Source: Wikipedia
Why Zertificon Solutions?
The components of our company name show what we do:
Zertifi- descends from the German word for certificate (= Zertifikat). Almost all our solutions rely on the use of digital certificates. A digital certificate contains mainly a users public key. At the same time a third entity confirms (= certifies) that the public key belongs to a certain user or organization. To have public access to a public key is important for communication partners. They can then for example send an encrypted e-mail to the owner of the public key.con has many meanings
con - ital.: with - with certificatescon-venience
Only if a security solution is not only safe but also convenient in its usage, it will be accepted and shows its benefit in protecting an organization. Our solutions aim to make the day-by-day work of Security Officers, CSOs and all other persons responsible for IT security issues much easier.
con-sulting
We shall be glad to offer you our know-how in protecting electronic business processes and communication especially in e-mail infrastructures.
con-fidentiality
Important requirement within IT security. We use cryptographic measures to prevent privacy in e-business: This guarantees that only authorized persons/organizations are able to read sensitive and valuable information.
