Digital security certificates now in Bangladesh

Bangladesh has entered into the digital era. Different government and non-government organisations are now eying to electronic money transaction and data transfer in a safer way. But the internet chaos ensues when websites are not encrypted with secure socket layer (SSL) technology — the digital security.

There are so many instances of being tapped in phone lines and have conversations on monitoring an extended period of time with no detection. The internet is no different. So, someone may tap and record the internet usage, capture passwords, social security numbers, bank account numbers, credit card information and confidential documents. Without encryption, the internet is an unusable resource for financial and data transaction.

So comes the digital signature. It keeps data safe and out of malicious hands during the online transition. The digital signature is a type of asymmetric cryptography used to simulate the security properties of a handwritten signature on paper. Digital signature schemes normally give two algorithms — one for signing, which involves the user’s secret or private key, and another for verifying signatures, which involves the user’s public key.

A signature provides authentication of “message” — may be anything from electronic mail to a contract. Digital signatures are used to create public key infrastructure (PKI) schemes in which a user’s public key is tied to a user through a digital identity certificate issued by a certificate authority.

Once company, SSL Wireless, is helping different institutions in getting digital signature while being a partner with Switzerland based company ‘VeriSign’. VeriSign SSL Solutions, Including EV SSL, GeoTrust SSL, and Thawte SSL — all are now available for banking and finance sector.

These products would also protect the customers of all sizes, including e-governance projects of the Government of Bangladesh and different e-commerce sites.
