Strong Authentication and Public Key Infrastructure
As one of our main goals has always been the improvement of authentication security, SSOCircle is now offering Strong Authentication with X.509 Certificates and a PKI supporting automatic enrollment of Certificates.
Using Certificate based authentication reduces the threat of Phishing ( a malicious site that pretends to be the login mask of someother and reads your password - no matter if it was encrypted over the wire or not ). With Certificate based LogIn there is no need to let your password travel over the network.
