MySafeID™ Certification Authority (CA)

Self-Contained HW-Based CA for Enterprise Communities

MySafeID CA from SPYRUS combines the proven performance of the LYNKS Series II CA Hardware Security Module (HSM) with high-assurance X.509 certification authority software to provide a cost-effective solution for small to medium size enterprises. MySafeID CA is simple, portable, and flexible. The software CA works on any computer running Microsoft Windows XP—no need for a dedicated server, Active Directory or LDAP, or full Microsoft CS infrasturcture—yet MySafeID CA can generate both the elliptic curve cryptography (ECC) certificates required for high-strength encryption and the RSA certificates that support legacy applications.

MySafeID CA provides a hardware-based chain of trust to ensure the security of encryption, digital signatures, and authentication in closed communities where a defined chain of trust is required but global certificate revocation status validation is not mandatory. MySafeID CA can also be integrated with an existing full PKI system to ensure global compliance.

LYNKS Series II CA HSM

MySafeID CA includes a LYNKS Series II CA HSM in a choice of either PCMCIA or stackable USB versions.

The LYNKS CA HSM generates keys and certificates that can be downloaded to a Hydra Privacy Card Series II or Rosetta Series II Smart Card or USB. Up to 50 root CA keys and signing certificates of different key strengths and types can be stored on the tamper-resistant FIPS 140-2 LYNKS Series II CA HSM.

With the included HSM Copy Utility, the LYNKS Series II CA HSM can be cloned to create a locked-down replica to serve as as a backup CA, to use for auditing preparedness, or to preserve for disaster recovery.
A Bridge to Tomorrow's Cryptographic Support

MySafeID CA is unique in its ability to generate keys and certificates for every public key cryptographic algorithm currently certified by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) as Federal Information Processing Standards (FIPS). Supported algorithms exceed the Suite B standards set by the U.S. National Security Agency for protecting certain classified information.
The self-signed root CA certificate can be explicitily trusted by the defined security community. Software-generated user certificates are signed by the root CA and can be used for security operations such as signing and encrypting email, secure authentication, and Hydra PC encrypted file sharing.

The easy-to-use software interface guides you through the certificate generation process, with no need for special IT staff or training.

The responsibility for data protection starts at the lowest level within an organization, where day-to-day operations requiring open access can present the greatest vulnerability to security. MySafeID CA makes it easier to safeguard sensitive information without interrupting your business.
