Understanding Total Cost of Ownership for Verisign PKI, IBE, and DDKI in Information Security

This document explores the Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) associated with various digital security solutions, specifically focusing on Verisign's Public Key Infrastructure (PKI), Identity-Based Encryption (IBE), and Digital Data Key Infrastructure (DDKI). It highlights the significant upfront and ongoing costs of implementing these technologies, including the need for trained personnel, time required for setup, and recurring expenses. The analysis provides insights into cost structures, comparing Verisign's managed systems with alternatives like IBE and DDKI, thereby informing decision-making for organizations seeking secure, cost-efficient solutions.

  1. Securing the World’s Information Total Cost of Ownership Verisign - PGP - IBE – DDKI Different provision approaches result in different cost outcomes Andre Brisson brisson@lightspeed.ca abrisson@wnlabs.com

  2. Ultimate technology metric – Total Cost of Ownership Great technology is irrelevant if it is not cost efficient for providers and users to implement with existing legacy systems and in new growing secure networks. It is like the health care system in the US. It is meaningless how good it is to people that can’t afford it or trained professionals who can’t afford to provide it.

  5. Total Cost of Ownership for DDKI systems Server $2000 - (one time cost) Server software $1000 - (one time cost) Annual license fee/support = $2,000 Cost structures are flexible for providers and enterprises. There are volume discounts for the number of user seats per enterprise. The scale starts at $250 for enterprises of 10 employees or less and scales down with volume.
