ODETTE CA - the Automotive Trust Centre
The increasing use of the internet for data exchange and collaboration in the automotive and other industries requires state-of-the-art security means. The Odette Certification Authority offers the necessary Digital Certificates for OFTP2 data exchange, document and email signing & encryption and internet application protection.
Certificates issued by Odette CA are recognised by the Odette Trust Service and ensure security and interoperability with your business partners in the automotive industry.
The security capabilities within the OFTP2 protocol utilise proven cryptographic security algorithms which are widely regarded as the most secure mechanism that can be used for the exchange of data electronically. The provision of digital certificates is an intrinsic necessity for the operation of OFTP2 software.
ODETTE’s own digital signature on your certificate ensures that any tampering with the contents of the certificate can be easily detected and provides the assurance required by your trading partners.
The ODETTE Certification Authority has been created specifically to issue certificates for B2B activities utilising OFTP2 and the internet.
ODETTE certificates are safer
When ODETTE issues a signed certificate, we are guaranteeing the identity of the organisation that requested the certificate. You cannot just purchase an ODETTE certificate off the shelf. Your certification request must go through a formal validation procedure where ODETTE verifies that the organisation requesting the certificate is actually who they claim to be.
Cost savings
Digital certificates in conjunction with OFTP2 provide you with significant cost savings. One obvious payback is that of prevention, eliminating the cost impact of data exposure, but equally important is the saving achieved because you do not need to invest in expensive private networks and VPN infrastructures, which are difficult to set up and maintain.
How do I obtain an ODETTE certificate?
ODETTE certificates can be obtained on-line via the ODETTE CA web site. The simple application process will guide you through the information that is required to make your certificate request directly to the ODETTE Registration Authority (RA).
Having received your certificate application request, we will issue you with logon details that you will use to download the certificate once your application has been approved. The ODETTE RA then verifies all submitted details to ensure that fraudulent applications are intercepted.
Once your application has been approved by the ODETTE RA, we will create your certificate and inform you via email that it is available for download. You may then use your secure logon details to download your certificate as many times as you wish.
Price: €180 for a certificate valid for 12 months
