Personal Digital Certificate Vision

Using personal digital certificates for digital signatures securely and reliably expedites many university processes by replacing pen-and-ink signatures on documents with digital signatures that are electronically stored and verified. Because authenticating with "something you have" as well as "something you know" increases the assurance that you are who you say you are, the credentials required for digital signatures will be stored on devices such as tokens or smart cards.

    Mission:  Personal digital certificates increase the assurance that information transmitted electronically remains uncorrupted, and that it can be reliably associated with the sender.  Digital certificates facilitate moving processes online, replacing inked signatures.
