What do you do when need a legal record of your online transactions? Are you concerned about the security of your online transactions? Do you exchange and file information that is of high net worth or a highly sensitive nature? Are you worried about your exposure to fraud and liability online?

Portas service is a proven solution for outsourcing third party trust. It provides an alternative to the high cost of infrastructure investment required for companies to develop their own PKI (Public Key Infrastructure) level security. With thousands of medium level assurance certificates issued to date, Portas service leads the way in helping customers 'sign' legally binding transactions online.

Portas services are built on five security elements:

• Confidentiality - protecting transmitted or stored data from unauthorized access
• Access Control - data is only accessed by the parties for whom it is intended
• Authentication - the identify of the originator can be validated
• Integrity - data being stored or transmitted is protected from unauthorized modification
• Non-repudiation - the originator cannot deny participation in the Transaction

Certificate Authority (CA) Management

Portas service is the first private sector CA to meet the cross-certification criteria of the Government of Ontario’s Management Board Secretariat CA.

We provide expertise in the administration of a CA including instituting operational and technical controls, establishing procedures for providing certificates of various assurance levels, creating policies and providing authentication and certification services to clients.

This includes a life cycle for certificate management that we’ve developed in order to provide government approved medium level assurance certificates.
