High Assurance digital certificates provide high-level private key and digital certificate protection, and require the highest level of authentication. High Assurance digital certificates and private keys are stored in a hardware token (SmartCard or USB device) and protected by a strong password.

Features and Benefits

IdenTrust will issue High Assurance certificates to individuals who are identified and authenticated by a face-to-face meeting with a licensed notary public. IdenTrust also conducts third-party verification of the applicant's identity. After receiving a High Assurance certificate from IdenTrust, each subscriber must use reasonable effort to protect the security of his or her private key, which can be stored on a Rainbow iKey USB token or a Datakey SignaSure Smart Card. These storage products are provided by IdenTrust and included in the price of the certificate.

A High Assurance digital certificate may reasonably be relied upon for any purpose for which a Standard or Intermediate Assurance digital certificate may be relied upon. The recommended reliance limit for a High Assurance digital certificate is $50,000. Each applicant must indicate, at the time of registration, how he or she intends to protect the private key(s). A check box will be present on the registration page for indicating the type of private key protection that the applicant wishes to use. Then, the applicant will be given information on obtaining the appropriate hardware module at the time of registration.
