+++++++++++++++++++++++++ e-security provider SecureNet Limited (ASX: SNX) announced today that it will run a pilot program for the Australian Defence Force for a secure message authentication framework that will protect critical operational communications.
Participants will be given a digital certificate generated by an accredited public key infrastructure (PKI). These digital certificates will enable Defence personnel to uniquely sign and encrypt their electronic correspondence, giving it the same assurance and legal status as a signed, paper based letter.
The pilot will test and demonstrate the system and gather feedback from personnel across several areas of Defence. It will be finalised by the end of 2002
