It is done by exchanging digital certificates between authenticated users and trusted resources. By using PKI, an organization can achieve its objective of Confidentiality, Integrity, Authenticity and Non-repudiation of data.

These transactions normally contain information such as customer’s details, company’s pricing decision and other highly confidential information. Such information can be easily altered if not properly encrypted. Examples of Digital ID are CryptoSuite and Secured E-mail.
