ICE-TEL - Interworking Public Key Certification Infrastructure for Europe
Objectives
The aim of the
ICE-TEL project is to provide a large scale public key
certification infrastructure in a number of European countries for the use of
public key based security services, and to provide all technology components
which allow the deployment of user tools and applications with a common
integrated public key security technology. In particular,
partners in this project will
- develop and deploy the neccessary tools for both provision of
the infrastructure and the support of users of the
infrastructure for a variety of platforms (Unix, PC, Mac),
- develop and deploy security toolkits which allow to integrate public key
based security services into virtually any application, and which make
use of the security infrastructure,
- develop and deploy user tools (secured e-mail, secured WWW clients, secured
X.500 DUAs) which immediately allow to use the certification infrastructure
without further application integration
- support the integration of security services into applications, and provide
testbeds for applications.
