What is ETI (Enterprise Trust Integration)?

Trust is not expressed identically nor does it present the same value and form in different ecosystems; not all data is encoded or exchanged in a uniform way (for instance, XML, CMS, PDF, ASN.1, etc.), security mechanisms prevail (for instance, login/password, digital certificates, etc.) and it is necessary to manage different trusted entities (for instance: government, corporate, etc.) in the exchange of B2B or B2C data.

ETI—Enterprise Trust Integration—refers to a model of integration of the processes of generating and interpreting the appropriate level of information trust, contemplating the federation of different security domains. The concept is therefore applied to the development of trust in information using standard security mechanisms and especially PKI-based.

ETI emanates from and relies on SOA and other concepts encompassed in it, such as EAI (Enterprise Application Integration) and EII (Enterprise Information Integration). This concept is made possible by a trusted services platform like TrustedX, enabling the uniform integration of the various trust elements and detaching consumers from the practical and conceptual complexity involved in implementing the various security mechanisms.
