Security (BC-SEC)

The PSE (Personal Security Environment) used to verify a signer's digital signature.

The verification PSE cannot be used to create a digital signature. It contains the public key of the signer's public-key pair, but not the private key.

Example

In the mySAP.com Workplace, the central Workplace Server digitally signs the user's SSO ticket (Single Sign-On ticket) when the user logs on to the Workplace. The Workplace component systems use the Workplace server's verification PSE to verify the Workplace server's digital signature contained in the user's SSO ticket to allow the user access to the system.
