How does user identification work with Fluxys Client Extranet?
Fluxys’ data services are available through a secured connection via the Fluxys Client Extranet. By design, no external party has access to the data that can be consulted or edited within the Client Extranet without having a valid certificate (issued by a trusted Certification Authority, VeriSign or GlobalSign) installed on the client machine.
A Certificate (or Digital ID or Public Key Certificate) is an electronic document which incorporates a digital signature to bind together a public key with an identity — information such as the name of a person or an organization, their address, and so forth and this for a given period of time. The certificate can be used to verify that a public key belongs to an individual.
Once installed at the client, the public key of the certificate can be exported and forwarded to 3rd parties for registration purposes. The certificate can then be used as an elegant and secure replacement strategy for simple login and password.
