Why use HIC/HeSA certificates and not those issued by other entities?
• HIC and its subsidiary HeSA are Australian Government Endorsed Suppliers. The Australian Government actively encourages the use of HIC PKI based facilities e.g. oncology trials. The Australian Government promotes and supports HIC as the chain of trust for the Healthcare industry in Australia. • HIC is Australia’s primary health information management and payment agency and consequently employed throughout the Australian healthcare sector. A significant number of healthcare users (pharmacies, general practices etc) use certificates issued by HIC. • HIC/HeSA (and its Certificate Authority, SecureNet) have completed the Commonwealth Government Gatekeeper process and are Accredited Providers of PKI. Recipients of secure email are more amenable to receive an email from accredited providers. • HIC/HeSA issue dual certificates i.e. two (2) separate Certificates – one each for authentication and encryption. Entities such as Verisign and Thawte issue a single certificate for both purposes. Du
