Entrust/Toolkit™
Java™ Edition
Features and Benefits
Flexibility
- Works with Entrust/PKIÒ
, Entrust/Solo™ and stand-alone.
- Cross platform support - Java is a portable language. This toolkit is an implementation of Java and thus has no platform restrictions beyond those of the Java language.
- File-formatting methods - Provides developers with access to PKCS#7 file formatting. This allows for the deployment of interoperable solutions.
- Real-time Communications - Provides developers with access to SSL functions for the establishment of trusted real-time communications.
- Algorithm independent - Algorithm selection is made available through the JCE (Java Cryptographic Extension) Module providing RSA, DSA, SHA1, MD5, MD2, DES, Triple-DES, CAST-128, RC2 and RC4 algorithms.
- Seamless interoperability - Entrust/Toolkit™ Java™ Edition inter-operates seamlessly with Entrust/PKI. This accommodates unique business application needs.
- Fully scalable - EntrustÆs full security system is scalable to address even the most demanding requirements of large organizations. With Entrust, developers can start with individual users or small workgroups and grow to suit the needs of any size organization.
- Multiple services - Entrust/Toolkit Java Edition provides encryption and decryption services, and digital signature and verification services. Dual key pairs allows for the secure storage of any type of file while providing for non-repudiation.
- Open interfaces - Entrust products are built to existing and emerging standards to ensure that applications will participate in an open, multi-vendor future. Developers are not tied to any single vendor of security products.
- Conformity - Entrust/Toolkit Java Edition participates in the existing Entrust security infrastructure. Developers can be assured that their applications will conform to the policies and controls already in place within an organization.
Cost Savings
- Cost savings - Developers benefit from access to high level APIs which dramatically reduce development time and reduce the associated "debugging" time. Reduced development time means lower costs and faster time to market.
- Absolutely no cost - Unlike other products on the market, the Entrust/Toolkit Java Edition is available at absolutely no cost to developers at http://developer.entrust.com
- Freely distributable - Developed applications are not subject to royalties or run-time license fees. Developers can be assured that there are no incremental costs with the toolkit.
Ease of installation and use
- Documentation - The APIs are well-documented and easy to understand.
- Minimal security knowledge - Detailed security knowledge is not required to develop secure applications, which is implicit through the use of this toolkit.
- Application programming interface - Application designers can incorporate security from day one with maximum user transparency without concern for complexities of key management or fundamental security architecture issues. Developers can easily incorporate security into all their applications.
Solid security
- Secure plug-ins - Entrust/Toolkit Java Edition is capable of producing secure plug-in applications which exist on top of the proven Entrust security architecture.
