Built-in with a n-tier PKI hierarchy, this on-premises CA provides seamless certificate issuance and management, ensuring full control over your organization's cryptographic ecosystem.

When deployed on PKI Hub, this Entrust solution adds the following to the Base installation integration report.

Hardware secure modules supported by Certificate Authority

When integrating a Hardware Security Module (HSM):

  • You do not need to install the client drivers because the solution already includes this software. However, these client drivers cannot be updated.
  • You can only use 1/N card sets. A card set of, for example, 2/5 cards is not supported.
  • Changing the settings of an Entrust nShield HSM requires the steps described in Administrating nShield HSM integration.
