ISARA Catalyst™ Agile Digital Certificate
Seamlessly Transition to Quantum-safe Security
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.
What is It?
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.
Integrate ISARA Catalyst to Enable Crypto Agility
- The first step towards quantum-safe security is building in crypto agility, as recommended by NIST
- Use the ISARA Radiate™ Quantum-safe Toolkit for quantum-safe security
- Use ISARA Catalyst Digital Certificate methodology to bring crypto agility to your PKI and reliant systems
Design to International X.509 Standards
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.
Solving Today's Challenges For a Quantum-safe Future
Seamless Simplified PKI Migration
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.
Future-Proof Durable Connected Devices
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.
Protect Critical Assets Now With Quantum-safe Security
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.
