A public key infrastructure (PKI) provides a solid security foundation for strong authentication, email encryption, digital signing, and securing IoT devices and applications.
The Nexus Smart ID PKI allows governments and businesses to enable trust with certificate-based identities for citizens, employees, applications, things, and smart devices.
The Smart ID PKI issues certificate-based, cryptographically secure, unforgeable identities that enable,
Strong authentication: Certificate-based authentication ensures only authorized users, devices, or servers can connect to a network or application. Revocation of certificates instantly blocks access in case of compromise or emergency.
Encryption and privacy: Certificates guarantee encrypted communication between devices and services to securely transmit data over TLS.
Integrity: Digitally signed messages based on certificates prove the origin of data and detect data manipulation. Signed firmware ensures secure software updates from verified sources.
The Smart ID PKI supports a wide range of enrolment protocols and interfaces which makes it easily extensible to various use cases while keeping it secure and compliant with global industry standards.
