In India, the new IT Act has made it easier for companies to
do e-business in a trusted environment. The Controller of Certification
Authorities in India will license companies to provide certification and PKI
services in India. Three companies so far have publicised their plans to provide
PKI services. Satyam, the first name in the Indian Internet scenario, has roped
in US certification company, Verisign, to establish SafeScrypt that will issue
digital certificates in India. While HFCL is planning to do the same with
GlobalSign, Europe’s biggest certification agency, Baroda based Ecomenable
will work with Canadian agency Entrust to do the same.
