Overview
To consolidate security-related
information, the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania developed the Justice
Network (JNET), a Web-based system for linking the state’s justice system
and allowing access to the information across 67 participating counties.
In contrast to most other integrated justice efforts, which require
users to access consolidated databases using standard client software,
JNET’s Web-based system integrates easily with any technology participants
might use.
Key Challenges
To consolidate sensitive
information from disparate agencies and make it accessible via a secure
online resource, JNET needed a security provider who was exceptionally
thorough and reliable.
“JNET is a
model for sharing justice information that needs to be very, very secure,
so VeriSign and JNET work very well together. VeriSign should be proud
that it is partnering with the government to enhance public safety.”
Linda Rosenberg

Solution
JNET turned to VeriSign®
Managed Public Key Infrastructure (PKI), a solution that provides both
data encryption and digital certification. VeriSign Managed PKI is an
intelligent infrastructure service that allows JNET to easily and securely
deliver PKI services without building a proprietary system.
Result
Using VeriSign as a third-party
provider, JNET was able to implement a PKI much more quickly, and for
a much lower overall cost, than building and testing a proprietary system.
Without having to focus on security, JNET developers have more time
to work on improving the design, response time, and capacity of the
system
