Arcot RegFort Digital ID Management System - Overview

The Digital ID Authentication Challenge
Digital IDs, also known as certificates or private keys, form the basis of electronic business processes. If you have created digital IDs for your employees, customers, or partners, you face the challenge of cost effectively issuing, deploying, and revoking those digital IDs. You must also make it easy for your users to request and receive their digital IDs.

The RegFort Solution
The Arcot RegFort digital ID management system addresses these challenges by simplifying the processes and costs of digital ID issuance and management. RegFort gives you an integrated web-based credential management system that supports a range of registration options, credential types, and interfaces with the different certificate authorities. RegFort is highly customizable, and gives you a high degree of control over your digital ID management processes.
