How can I control accesses confidential data?

The confidentiality service offered by a Public Key Infrastructure enables electronic data (files and communications) to be protected, and controls access to the data by applying PKI-based authentication mechanisms.

Public key technology has proved to be particularly appropriate in managing the risks of interchanging information over telematic networks and in protecting documents through the provision of identification and trust features. PKI lays the foundations for supporting the protection of sensitive data through the use of data encryption and digital certificates in managing the access control to such data.

The level of data protection depends on the strength of the cryptographic algorithms and the keys used for encryption. TrustedX centrally and continually determines the required cryptographic parameters based on the encryption and decryption policies defined according to things such as the type of information, roles and applications.

TrustedX key management service guarantees the secure administration of user/application keystores (on disk or HSM). This administration includes generating and importing keys, generating the certification requests and importing certificates.
