Sagem Défense Sécurité secures the French Ministry of Defense's Intranet
Paris, December 20, 2005 -- Sagem Défense Sécurité today announced that the French Defense Procurement Agency (DGA) has selected it to supply and deploy Public Key Infrastructure (PKI). This PKI will manage the Ministry of Defense’s digital Intranet certificates (Intraced) used for classified defense needs.
As the PKI will be deployed to meet all of Intraced’s standard certification needs, Sagem Défense Sécurité will be acting as the integrator for the armed forces’ Information and Communication Systems (SIC), whether it be in agencies, fixed operational sites or theaters of operation.
The main functions of the PKI, which Sagem Défense Sécurité will deploy as of June 2006, are the following:
* Authentication of users and equipment
* Inter-personnel mail signatures
* Confidentiality (‘need-to-know’ control or compartmentalization)
Sagem Défense Sécurité will integrate the Sequoia® certification solution from Keynectis, the leader in trusted electronic services, in order to provide the DGA with a turnkey system. Keynectis, which already uses the Sequoia® solution for its clients, brings its unique experience in installing and operating PKI.
This new success confirms Sagem Défense Sécurité’s expertise in the new security and information systems technologies. It also demonstrates that the company’s know-how in commercial security systems can readily benefit the Defense market.
