Overview
The 34th state of the
Union, Kansas is home to over 2 million people in 105 counties.
Key Challenges
When the State of Kansas
wanted to provide a way for citizens, businesses, and employees to conduct
online business with the state’s 90 agencies and 55 institutions of
higher learning, it was necessity to provide a system for verifying
the identities of all concerned.
“We're
providing a greater level of security with PKI than you can with a simple
phone transaction, but most importantly, VeriSign Managed PKI frees
up agency resources and personnel that can be used more efficiently.
This also saves money, but that's a byproduct of the goals we're trying
to accomplish: enhanced communication and a better flow of information.”

Using VeriSign® Managed
Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) services, agencies and citizens could
exchange documents and information and sign documents digitally. These
services also allowed the State of Kansas to distribute digital certificates
to authorized users, selectively controlling access to sensitive data.
Result
- Having implemented the VeriSign services,
the State of Kansas can provide secure services online by authenticating
users with trusted digital certificates.
- The State was also able to significantly
increase efficiency and reduce costs by eliminating paperwork.
