PKI Infrastructure
Cyber security
Let us ensure the security of your network interactions.
PKI (Public Key Infrastructure) is a technology for managing and issuing digital certificates and keys. In today’s digital age, PKI is essential for ensuring security in an environment with a vast number of applications and connected devices requiring verification. Proper management and maintenance of certificates for these technologies is crucial for maintaining security in our advanced digital world. In short, PKI is responsible for ensuring the security of network interactions by:
- Establishing the identity of endpoints in the network.
- Encrypting data flow through secure channels (SSL/TLS).
At Evenir, we address security threats found during audits, as well as increase the availability of all PKI infrastructure elements and implement hardware security modules (HSM).
Establishing Certification Authorities (CA)
A critical component of a trusted infrastructure within an organization is the certification authority (CA), which manages the entire lifecycle of certificates – from issuance to revocation and expiration, in situations such as employment termination or security incidents.
A typical CA hierarchy usually consists of two levels, following the chain from Root Certificate Authority → Subordinate Certificate Authorities → End-Entity Certificates.
A two-tier hierarchy is absolutely necessary at a minimum because the root CA should be offline 99.9% of the time, which is a difficult standard for subordinate CAs, which regularly issue certificates as they need to be online for issuing new certificates.
Installation of HSM Modules
Within our projects, we focus on the implementation and configuration of hardware security modules (HSM).
HSMs are specialized devices with high levels of protection, preventing unauthorized access to private keys and ensuring the integrity of cryptographic operations.
In addition to delivering and configuring these devices, we can integrate them with your organization’s ecosystem and PKI infrastructure to ensure maximum efficiency and security of your IT systems.
