How does the directory secure and maintain passwords and other sensitive information?
Security controls access to all the information that is stored in the directory. This means that you can establish rules and grant rights to the users for the information in the directory. You can also control the flow of information within your company, across networks of partners, and even to your customers. Using NDS, you can manage the electronic transfer between companies through the cryptographic and key management systems. The Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) available in NDS provides security for Internet data integrity and privacy across public networks. It includes both public-key cryptography and digital certificates for checking the authenticity of keys used in a public session.
