About Voltage IBE
Voltage
IBE is a public key cryptography system that uses common
identities (such as an email address or screen name) as
public keys, eliminating the need for certificates, Certificate
Revocation Lists (CRL) and other costly infrastructure.
Voltage IBE results in a solution that is easy to implement
and easy to manage, without the overhead and cost inherent
in traditional security solutions. Voltage IBE is ideal
for use with financial services customers and medical patients
who expect communication to be kept private and secure and
also want ease-of-use and low-cost. Voltage IBE solutions
are:
- Easy to implement and easy to manage – eliminates
the overhead and costs inherent in traditional security
solutions such as PKI
- Highly scalable – no storage of keys or messages,
and no need to contact online servers; allows the solution
to scale dramatically without the need for additional infrastructure
- Easy to use – no need for end users to worry about
keys or certificates.
