Red Hat Set To Unveil Certificate System

Red Hat plans to introduce its Red Hat Certificate System at LinuxWorld this week as part of a broader strategy to build out a robust security platform, sources close to the Raleigh, N.C.-based company said.

The server, based on assets that Red Hat acquired in September from America Online’s Netscape Security Solutions arm, will manage user identities and offer strong authentication, single sign-on and token management using X.509 certificates, LDAP and PKI security technologies, sources said.
