Economical Solution Complements Capabilities of Internal CAs, such as
the Microsoft Certificate Authority, Allowing Public Recognition of
SSL and Client Certificates

SAN FRANCISCO, RSA CONFERENCE, Feb. 14 /PRNewswire/ -- GeoTrust,
Inc., a leader in identity verification solutions for e-business and
 the world's second largest issuer of SSL (secure sockets layer)
certificates for web security, today announced the availability of
GeoRoot(TM), an enterprise solution that allows organizations to
chain their internally issued digital certificates to GeoTrust's
publicly recognized roots. GeoRoot allows organizations with their
own Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) to extend the use of SSL server
and client certificates by leveraging a highly ubiquitous GeoTrust
root, supported by over 99% of browsers. "Today, many large
organizations utilize Microsoft's free Certificate Authority to
create digital certificates for securing their servers, email and
employee remote access," stated Neal Creighton, CEO of GeoTrust.
"However, these 'self-signed' certificates are only recognized within
the issuing organization or other allied organizations that have
chosen to share trust. By chaining to our widely supported public
root, these organizations can easily enable trusted e-business
transactions outside of their organizations." "Server-based digital
certificates for SSL have become increasingly important to
organizations because they provide enhanced security," stated Vic
Wheatman, Managing Vice President, Gartner, Inc. "However, we
recognize that some organizations need to extend acceptance of their
own certificates beyond their enterprise. By chaining their
certificates to a widely recognized root, organizations can elevate
trust levels and SSL functionality while using their own internal PKI
system." GeoRoot is designed to complement the existing capabilities
of an in-house Certificate Authority, allowing organizations to
maintain full control over Registration Authority (RA) functions for
the issuance of SSL server certificates and client certificates
(x.509). By chaining to GeoTrust's public root, certificates gain
compatibility with virtually all browsers and digital certificate and
public key security applications, including commerce sites, intranet,
extranet, S/MIME and VPN hardware and clients. This ubiquitous
recognition allows certificates, whether for electronic documents,
secure email or other transactions, to be trusted globally.
Certificate lifecycle management is a key feature of GeoRoot,
allowing organizations to easily issue, renew and revoke
certificates. Other functions, such as authenticating individuals,
deploying and managing SSL server certificates and client
certificates, as well as managing the distribution of public keys to
 appropriate parties, are all handled by the organization. GeoRoot
also allows an enterprise to maintain its own brand identity when
issuing certificates, an attractive feature for certain applications
 such as email certificates. In addition to GeoRoot, GeoTrust offers
a full line of digital certificates for identity verification,
including client certificates for secure access, SSL certificates for
e-commerce and web services security, code signing certificates for
software developers and the recently announced certified signing
solution for Adobe(R) Acrobat(R). Its customers include the world's
largest hosting companies, Global 1000 companies, educational
institutions and government agencies worldwide.

Pricing and Availability GeoRoot is available today in several
configurations, with annual licenses to meet the needs of low volume
 to high volume users. GeoRoot is only available for internal use,
and organizations must meet certain eligibility requirements,
including financial net worth, insurance minimums, policy,
implementation and compliance guidelines, and hardware security
specifications. Complete details are available from GeoTrust sales
at 866-511- 4141 or sa...@geotrust.com.
