Remote Access - RA Servers White Papers

Design and Implementation of a Secure, Remote PKI Key Management System

Overview The faith placed in existing smart card/hardware token technology is a chimera. For today's widely implemented techniques for remote rekeying to be truly secure, they must take place only on trusted workstations. This paper demonstrates how even simple attacks against the untrusted workstation can compromise the cryptographic keys, thereby negating the benefits of investing in hardware implementations of a PKI. The requirement to run on a trusted workstation is, naturally, not an acceptable condition - on the battlefield or in the workplace. In the public sector, that condition can never be met at an acceptable price.

Virtualisation: Architectual Considerations and other Evaluation Criteria

In the past several years, server virtualisation technology has moved quickly and firmly into the IT mainstream. Of the many approaches to system virtualisation available in the market today, VMware's hypervisor architecture has gained the greatest market acceptance. This paper examines the architectural issues, solution support, and enterprise readiness required when deploying such a virtualisation solution.
