CAcert startet mit Organisations-Assurance auf der CeBIT

CAcert startet nun in Deutschland mit einem neuen Angebot für Organisationen,
Assurances für SSL Zertifikate, S/Mime, Codesigning und Serverzertifikate.

Das heisst nun können auch im Handelsregister eingetragene
Gesellschaften, Kaufleute und Vereine ebenso wie Hochschulen, Städte,
Gemeinden, Ämter und andere siegelführende Körperschaften und Gesellschaften
des bürgerlichen Rechts von einem CAcert Organisations-Assurer abgenommen und
beglaubigt werden.

Diese Assurances erfolgen genauso wie die für Privatpersonen kostenfrei.

Auf der diesjährigen CeBIT können sich Organisationen direkt am
Stand von CAcert (Halle 5, Stand Nr. E 64/7) beraten lassen, und die
notwendige Personenkontrolle vornehmen.

Die Zertifikate ermöglichen Ihnen, Webserver mit HTTPS abzusicheren,
Ihre Emails mit S/MIME digital zu unterschreiben und zu verschlüsseln,
selbstgeschriebenen Programmcode sowie Dokumente digital zu
unterschreiben und so die Echtheit und den Urheber zu belegen.
Sie sind somit nicht mehr auf selbstsignierte Zertifikate angewiesen.
Die Zertifikate sind sowohl für private als auch für Organisationen
einsetzbar.

Jeder interessierte kann sich einen Account bei www.CAcert.org anlegen;
notwendig sind Name, Passwort und eine gültige E-Mail-Adresse.

Für die Identitätskontrolle auf der CeBIT sind amtliche Lichtbildausweise
erforderlich, Personalausweis, Führerschein oder Reisepass.

Für die Organisations Assurance ist zusätzlich eine beglaubigte
Vollmacht der Organisation sowie ein Handelsregisterauszug bzw.
Vereinsregisterauszug erforderlich.

Nach erfolgter Überprüfung der Identität steht dem Benutzer dann die
volle Bandbreite der Leistungen von CAcert zur Verfügung.

CAcert ist in Halle 5, Stand Nr. E 64/7 auf der CeBit 2006 zu finden.
