Our carefully crafted solutions give you a clear overview and complete control of your cryptographic hardware, policy enforcement, logging, auditing and key management.

Key management

  • Import, generate, export and renew keys, as well as enforcing their correct usage (who can use the key and how they can use it)
  • Automate complex and repetitive manual key management tasks and liberate skilled staff for higher value tasks

Compliance and auditing
  • Audit-log key management processes – in tamper-proof environments – to protect from deliberate attacks and human errors
  • Easily demonstrate compliance with standards like PCI DSS and GDPR, and confidently comply with and pass internal/external audits

Health monitoring
  • Keep your infrastructure and HSMs healthy with data that allows operators to monitor the status of the entire system, as well as activity on individual HSMs

Trusted access
  • Perform admin without restrictions on time or place
  • Strong authentication supported by secure PIN entry devices (PEDs) and smart cards. PEDs also support key import/export and key share printing
  • Grant applications just enough privilege to complete their necessary functions, via a central policy file – unless something is explicitly allowed, it's forbidden! 

Reliability
  • Support all widely used cryptographic algorithms, including RSA, AES, 3DES, HMAC and more
  • High availability, ensured through clustering of the servers, database and HSMs
  • Easily disable or add an HSM in a few clicks with zero downtime to related applications
  • Monitor and load-balance operations across a pool of general purpose and specialized HSMs, as appropriate
  • Simple integrations with legacy systems and new-build applications via API – avoid steep learning curves! 

Typical use cases – an overview

Some typical and proven use-cases for key management include:

  • EMV® keys for card issuance and authorization, e.g. BASE24
  • ATM and POS remote key loading (RKL)
  • HSM application keys, e.g. Atalla, Thales, etc.
  • Bring Your Own Key (BYOK) to cloud environments
  • Keys for data protection, e.g PCI DSS & GDPR compliance
  • X.509 certificates for web servers (SSL/TLS), load balancers and more

Entities that keys can be delivered to include:
  • Java Key Store (JCE), PKCS #11 and Microsoft CAPI applications
  • Hardware Security Modules (HSM)
  • Cloud applications – ‘Bring Your Own Key’ formats
  • Payment Platforms – ATM and POS systems; Base24 and zOS integrations
  • Integrations with various certificate authorities are also supported.

Endorsed Code Signing

Endorsed signing is a unique feature tailored for the code-signing market. 

CSG's endorsed signing feature gives you the secure work flows necessary to control what code may be signed. It requires that a minimum mandatory number of authorized ‘endorsers’ endorse a code signing request before a secure signing operation is permitted.

Managed Data Encryption 

Tackle a common cryptography headache by ensuring encrypted data can be safely decrypted at a later date, even if the original key has been replaced. 

This technique is ideally suited for long-term storage of encrypted data within a business database. Managed encryption is an optional feature that can be made available to any application using CSG.

Managed encryption provides confidentiality, authenticity and integrity (while normal encryption only offers the first of these). This means you can ensure data hasn't been modified while it was stored. 

Tokenization

Tokenization protects sensitive data, such as PANs (primary account numbers), as they pass through business systems. The original data is replaced with a token of the same length, using a reversible process.

If you need to comply with PCI DSS, tokenization may provide a way to bring systems out of scope for audits. For more information on PCI DSS compliance, click here.

Confidential Cloud Computing

 In the uncertain trust levels of a cloud environment, it’s crucial to take a comprehensive approach to cloud security, incorporating customized security measures and a focus on securing encryption keys. 

Our Enclave Security Module (ESM) integrates with CSG to address challenges related to digital asset protection in the cloud. 

This includes compliance with complex privacy laws, maintaining control over data and encryption keys, and managing risks from shared infrastructure and potential insider threats.
