Module description
Quoted from the NIST CMVP entry for this certificate.
Authority Toolkits provide customers and partners with the ability to apply best-in-class security to almost any business application. These Toolkits provide a common set of services to permit developers to rapidly deploy applications that solve business problems without having to spend valuable development cycles developing these common services. Entrust Authority's standards-based, application programming interfaces (APIs) make it possible to implement a single enhanced Internet security architecture across multiple applications and platforms. By minimizing the need for separate administration modules with every deployed application, these Toolkits provide a reduction in administrative duplication and help to reduce the cost to deploy across multiple platforms.
