RSA Conference, San Francisco–02 March 2012. Watchdata Technologies announced during the RSA Security Conference that one of its global products, the “WatchKey” USB PKI security token, has successfully passed all the NSH-1 compliance tests for ICP-Brazil. This is the first USB PKI security token fully compliant with the standards established in Brazil by the ITI (National Institute of Information Technology).
This achievement is the result of Watchdata’s efforts to actively combine its international experience in PKI technology with a deep understanding of local requirements to guarantee superior security and interoperability, independent of the platform. The technical procedures, guides and norms established by ITI, comprise the Brazilian PKI requirements for cryptographic tokens to operate under the ICP-Brazil’s Root-CA certification authority. Compliance to these technical requirements is mandatory for cryptographic products used in Brazil.
