Tech Bytes: KPMG Canada Joins Entrust on Public Key

Entrust Technologies Inc. said KPMG Canada joined its consultant-systems integrator program, making Entrust public key cryptography products and related support services available with KPMG security audit and consulting services.

Joining a strategic alliance launched last October, KPMG said its information risk management expertise will complement the technology of Entrust, a U.S.-based spinout from Northern Telecom of Canada.

"We see public key infrastructures (PKI) as a key to electronic commerce," said John van Ruth, KPMG principal. "The alliance provides our clients with comprehensive security solutions from security auditing to full-scale deployment of a PKI across the enterprise."
