Crypto4A QxEdge HSM Certificate Manager

PLATFORM

Crypto4A’s quantum-ready Hardware Security Modules provide additional security to the Venafi Platform by providing secure storage and generation of machine identities.

SOLUTION HIGHLIGHTS

First and only PQC algorithm (LMS) validated by NIST
Central management allows deployments to scale from the cloud to the edge without scaling the resources needed to manage them
Ensure consistent security of all cryptographic assets by protecting them with an HSM
Simple to develop, deploy, and manage security applications on a unified platform
Reduce latency between HSM and CA by utilizing Crypto4A's all-in-one appliance
Supports both Venafi master encryption key storage as well as Central Key Generation

SOLUTION OVERVIEW

Crypto4A, a leader in quantum-ready cybersecurity solutions, has helped organizations achieve the highest possible entropy, most secure key storage and a post-quantum ready PKI. Until now organization have not been prepared for a post-quantum world where cryptographic systems, like machine identities, cannot be trusted. As a result of Machine Identity Management Development Fund sponsorship, Crypto4A’s quantum ready HSM, QxEdge supports a native integration to Venafi platform. This allows Venafi Certificate Manager the ability to utilize the HSM for secure key generation used in the creation of machine identities, as well as additional protections for the Venafi database.

Crypto4A is the first and only HSM vendor that NIST has certified for LMS algorithm support, with LMS being the very first PQC algorithm that NIST has included in their Cryptographic Algorithm Validation Program (CAVP). Both LMS and XMSS were recommended for code and firmware signing by NSA last year when they published the CNSA 2.0 (PDF). Crypto4A's QASM Crypto Module already supports XMSS as well, so as soon as NIST begins the validation process for XMSS, they are ready to test.
