ISARA Catalyst™ Agile Digital Certificate Methodology enables a seamless, cost-effective and simplified migration to quantum-safe security today to protect investments in durable connected devices and the Internet of Things (IoT) and complex public key infrastructures with no impact to end-users.
These digital certificates can be successfully introduced into existing systems because they’re backward compatible and adhere to global standards.
ISARA Catalyst agile digital certificates support two cryptographic algorithms within a single certificate. You can simultaneously have a classic public key and signature and a quantum-safe public key and signature. This hybrid methodology enables support for existing and upgraded systems.
We understand the importance of standards for interoperability and security. That’s why ISARA Catalyst Methodology is included in Recommendation ITU-T X.509 | ISO/IEC 9594-8 global standard.
Migrating a PKI can be complex and time-consuming, and even more so if duplication is required. With ISARA Catalyst, upgrading to quantum-safe security is seamless and simplified. There is no impact to legacy components, and no need to manage duplicated certificates. Migration can be achieved using a phased-approach — perfect for large, complex PKIs.
The physically embedded roots of trust used to validate the authenticity of over-the-air updates in connected devices are not quantum-safe. Quantum-enabled adversaries will be able to spoof software updates to take over unprotected devices. Avoid logistically challenging and cost-prohibitive recalls in the future. Embed quantum-safe roots of trust today to protect your investment in durable, connected devices.
Quantum-safe digital signature schemes, such as stateful hash-based signatures, are mature and ready to be used today. ISARA Catalyst allows you to use both a classic and quantum-safe digital signature within one certificate to protect mission-critical, durable devices such as connected cars, critical infrastructure, medical devices and deployed military equipment.
