Advanced security
Security issue should be your first question about such a server. That is why Unicity is based on the strong authentication provided by OTP solutions and uses the RBAC standard to authorize signers. Obviously, keys and certificates benefit from the best storage ever, a Hardware Security Module (HSM).
Front-end strong authentication, back-end HSM protection
Unicity works the same way as a smartcard does, with signature and encryption features.
The user's private key is remotely accessed thanks to a basic or strong authentication, in order to sign a document within the HSM.
Documents to be signed are downloaded through a secure channel (based on strong authentication with SSL) between the user and the Unicity server.
Use Unicity with a strong authentication OTP to enjoy the highest security level!
Role-Based Access Control (RBAC)
Unicity is built on the INCITS 359-2004 standard to provide secure and fined grained access control to your users.
Every operation in Unicity is tied to an unitary permission and these permissions can be grouped into roles to fit the security model of your organization.
And to also integrate smoothly with your infrastructure connection policies, you can automatically grant or deny some roles based on the entry connection point.
