OATI webCARES™ Digital Certificate
Authority
Important: The
webCARES™
Support Frequently Asked Questions
provides answers to the questions most asked by our customers and contains the
latest information on installing and troubleshooting the new webCARES Root CA
and webCARES Issuing CA certificates.
webCARES™ (web-based Certificate
Administration, Renewal, and Enrollment Service) Certificate Authority
provides digital certificates (Id's) to organizations interested in
protecting their electronic communications and data transfers from
alterations (data integrity) and imposters (data repudiation). In
addition, using an OATI webCARES™ digital certificate ensures that
data being transferred is securely encrypted (data privacy) for safe
transport over public communication circuits, such as email systems,
extranets and the Internet.
The unbelievably simple, straight forward webCARES™ web service interface allows an
organization’s designated Security Officer (SO) to easily issue new digital
certificates to their organization’s personnel, renew digital certificates
before they expire, revoke digital certificates when appropriate, and track the
history of any digital certificate within their organization using the webCARES™ audit features.
All webCARES™ Certification Authority digital certificates are
X509 V3 compatible and conform to the proposed North American Electric
Reliability Council’s (NERC) Energy Market Access and Reliability
Certificates (e-MARC) standards. They are relied upon by 90% of the energy
companies across the United States and Canada for SSL/TLS client
authentication, web server authentication, e-mail encryption/digital
signing and single sign-on applications. No other digital certification
authority is more aligned to the needs of the energy industry. This
includes adherence to the proposed Federal Energy Regulatory Commission
(FERC) cyber security standards detailed in Appendix G of the SMD NOPR.
