The Application of 3rd Party Certification Programme in Malaysia

Online boutique, eBay, Amazon, a few things that we are familiar with have become very common among individuals in Malaysia. We can purchase imported clothes, cool gadgets, limited collection items or maybe a bottle of Martell Cordon Bleu at your fingertips. Some, or maybe most of the items sold through internet are available in many different rates so there are always alternatives for us to purchase items at a lower price.

Although e-commerce has brought a lot of benefits, there are also some circumstances we have to face. The main thing I'm going to mention here today is about the security. One of the most important thing in online business is about the security, which covers a lot of areas such as information of users, account numbers, passwords and etc. Without a good security system an online business can be vulnerable to other parties. The information can be stolen by others for other uses or maybe illegal activities.
.
So now I'm going to talk about the third party authority, which is also called as certification authority. It is an entity that issues digital certificates which contains public key and identity for use by other parties. The private key disallows information which is kept to be available publicly, and it is only available for the end user who generated the key pair. The certificate also acts as a identity for the end user and the relying parties can trust the information in the certification authority. MSC Trustgate.com Sdn Bhd is an example of certification authority in Malaysia, which was founded in 1999 to overcome the weak security open network communications and become the catalyst for the growth of e-commerce.
.

The vision of Trustgate is to enable organizations to conduct their business securely over the Internet, as much as what they have been enjoying in the physical world. The increasing rate of fraud over the internet has increased the need of third party certification. There are several products and services provided by Trustgate which are: SSL Certificate; Managed PKI; Personal ID; MyTRUST, MyKAD ID; SSL VPN; Managed Security Services; VeriSign Certified Training; and Application Development.
.This is one of the service from Trustgate, MyKad PKI. This solution allows us to authenticate ourselves online to digitally signs documents and make transactions which are accepted by the government. Thought the third party certification, signing and transaction can be made with more security.
.
Besides that, the company has also provided training which is especially important in the fast changing Internet security and e-commerce environments. VeriSign Certified Training is one of the training courses offered.

Last but not least, althought online business and transaction are great but we must always becareful because there is always a risk of security failure. Third party certification program shall not be ignored while it shall be treated as a necessary in e-commerce world.
