Entrust, a leading provider of trusted payments, identities, and data solutions, has unveiled its cutting-edge Post-Quantum Ready PKI-as-a-Service (PKIaaS PQ) platform. This groundbreaking launch marks the availability of the world’s first commercial platform that offers both composite and pure quantum-safe certificate authority hierarchies. With this advanced platform, enterprises can now test and implement quantum-safe scenarios and infrastructure, effectively safeguarding their digital assets.
“While the quantum threat may still be years away, it is crucial for organizations to begin preparing for the inevitable transition to quantum-safe security algorithms. Unlike previous cryptographic refresh cycles, this paradigm shift will require a comprehensive overhaul of our digital infrastructure and data security systems. That’s why businesses should start devising their Post Quantum (PQ) migration strategies today and deploying the necessary tools and technologies to ensure a seamless transition to quantum-resistant security,” explained Greg Wetmore, Vice President of Software Development at Entrust.
Utilizing over 25 years of PKI expertise and innovation, Entrust PKIaaS streamlines the implementation and administration of PKI services. By offering pre-built, turnkey certificate use cases, such as WSTEP, ACME, SCEP, and mobile device management (MDM) solutions, the cloud-native platform simplifies enterprise PKI integration. Furthermore, the scalable architecture allows customers to reduce on-premise services, applications, and software, optimizing operational efficiency.
The inclusion of post-quantum cryptography, based on the NIST PQ draft standard algorithms, empowers organizations to generate quantum-safe certificates within minutes. By leveraging both composite and pure quantum certificate authority hierarchies, Entrust aligns with the recommendations of international cybersecurity agencies, including Germany’s BSI and France’s ANSSI, advocating for the testing and deployment of hybrid and composite certificates.
“We stand at a pivotal moment in the history of cybersecurity. Leading national agencies worldwide advocate for a hybrid approach to combat the quantum threat, which combines classical and quantum-resistant cryptographic algorithms. With the launch of our Post-Quantum Ready PKIaaS platform, Entrust enables organizations to swiftly generate and manage scalable certificates, bolstering their Zero Trust implementation and fortifying their digital infrastructure against the ‘harvest now, decrypt later’ menace,” Wetmore added.
As a trusted industry leader, Entrust is committed to empowering organizations across the globe with robust security solutions. With a global network of partners and customers in over 150 countries, Entrust continues to redefine the future of secure enterprises, governments, and data protection.
