PKI security for Win2000

Baltimore's Solutionplus for Windows 2000 enables the use of its Unicert PKI product, version 3.5 of which was released last week. It is the first third-party PKI product to integrate fully with Windows 2000, supporting all the operating system's desktop security features without the use of any additional client software.

Paddy Holohan, executive vice-president of marketing at Baltimore, said, "For organisations deploying Win2000, Unicert 3.5 provides the highest level of desktop e-security, without the need for additional client software."

Observers say Windows 2000's PKI features have a limited ability to work beyond the Microsoft environment, which has discouraged companies from adopting it.
