BitWay Certificate Server is a system that manages digital IDs, and acts a Certification Authority (CA), based on the strong encryption algorithms (MD5-128bit, RSA 1024/2048/4096 bit, 3DES, etc), also known as 'domestic encryption algorithms'.

This solution was generated due to the export restrictions imposed by the US Government that blocks to the principal software companies such as Netscape and Microsoft offer their products with strong encryption outside USA.

BitWay Certficate Server do the following:

• Create, renew and/or revoke digital IDs for e-mail/web sites/object signers/CAs.

• Automatic certificate validation and renewal.

• Integrated LDAP server, or connection with the most popular directories servers.

• Centralized administration.

The certificate database is maintained under a relational database engine, giving a superior scaleability respect of other similar products.

Due to the product is based on some public-domain elements, and BitWay S.A. wants to give the warranty and security to the end-user respect of the encryption software used, BitWay S.A. gives to the user the complete source code related with the encryption and key generations. So, BitWay is giving to the end-user:

• The complete security related to the encryption algorithms used, giving the source code.
• An entirely web-based product, simplifying the administration and making easier to use.
• Superior scaleability, starting with a relational database engine.
• The possibility of choose between take the product as is, or take the service of key generation and digital ID emission, like VeriSign and others.
