Fully-Managed Client Certificate Service
True Credentials Express offers the same client certificates and management service as True Credentials®, but is designed for enterprises who issue fewer than 1,000 certificates. It provides even the smallest enterprise with total control over who obtains certificates, how they get distributed, how they may be used, and how long they last.

We offer True Credentials Express because we know that certificate lifecycle management is important to any business - even those with hundreds, not thousands, of active certificates.

Delivering Secure Access, Secure Messaging and Secure Web-based Services and Applications
True Credentials Express client certificates provide two- factor authentication and the cryptographic functions necessary to encrypt all electronic transmissions so no unauthorized parties can read or understand the transmission. A fully-managed service, it addresses the inherent security risks typically associated with simple password schemes, open email communications and hardware-based authentication solutions without any expensive hardware, infrastructure or set-up costs. True Credentials Express provides a fast and easy way for enterprises to credential users and to deliver these client credentials electronically.

Client credentials can be employed in every enterprise, from finance, insurance and Internet commerce companies to education and government organizations. True Credentials Express provides strong authentication for secure access, secure messaging and secure web services and applications.

• Secure Access. The driving motivation to provide secure access to mission-critical enterprise applications and resources is to increase the efficiency of the workforce, to create a virtual enterprise that brings suppliers and partners in for trusted transactions, and to provide consumers with the confidence that their confidential information is secure. True Credentials Express provides secure access to vital network resources and applications, such as VPNs and web portals, without any special hardware and software requirements.
  
• Secure Messaging / S/MIME. Secure messaging is about making sure only the intended recipients of email messages can read them. Securing email has not been done extensively because of the difficulty in authenticating senders and receivers and in getting them their certificates. But once certificates are correctly installed, all standard email clients support signing and encrypting to keep communication private and confidential. With a True Credentials Express client certificate installed, email clients and servers continue to work unaltered, but all the intermediate servers, ISPs and networks can store messages without ever being able to read them providing maximum security.
  
• Web Services and applications. Pressure to streamline business processes and decrease operational costs are forcing enterprises to reconsider the way they do business online. True Credentials Express client certificates can provide the critical security that enterprises need for the all of the parties involved in vendor/partner transactions, including supply chain management, paperless transactions, and other applications over the internet that require fast, secure, and reliable methods to be in place.
