Bell ID and Certipost join forces

Certipost, specialist in digital identities and secure electronic document exchange, announces its collaboration with the Rotterdam-based Bell ID company, the global leader in Card Management Systems. The technology companies will provide a smart card, token and digital certificate management solution as a service.

With Bell ID’s software management capabilities, Certipost customers will be able to personalise and manage the lifecycles of their proofs of digital identity in-house via a secure Internet connection. This includes user enrolment, token or card replacement, user deactivation and certificate management: a truly self-service capability.

In addition, the solution will enable users to use one token or card for all their professional activities by managing multiple applications, including web access, digital signatures and secure e-mail.

Gert Roeckx, CEO at Certipost: “Offering token management as a service has many advantages for our customers: it allows management of tokens by or for the users at any time for any reason. Customers benefit from a fast delivery, reduced operational expenses and end-to-end security. Bell ID offers the innovative technology and expertise we need to extend our current service offer.”

Peter Menssen, Sales Manager Benelux at Bell ID, commented: “With this offering Bell ID makes the use of advanced and highly secure tokens accessible to a wider audience (e.g. smaller enterprises) as no large, up-front investments are required. We are pleased to be working with Certipost on realising this innovative service.”
