PrimeCert TSP, the turnkey solution to start your PKI business

The eIDAS regulation of the European Community 910/2014 has created a wide digital market for trust services for electronic transactions, assigning to the Trust Service Provider a primary role in this market.
Trust Service Providers are responsible for ensuring electronic identification of signatories and services using strong mechanisms for authentication, digital certificates, and electronic signatures. eIDAS defines how trust service providers should provide authentication and non-repudiating services and how they should be regulated and recognized in all EU member states.

As of 1 July 2016, individuals, businesses and public administrations are able to carry out convenient, secure and legally valid electronic transactions across EU borders. European Union rules on electronic signatures, electronic seals, time stamps, certified electronic delivery services and website authentication, as well as electronic documents apply directly in the 28 Member States.
PrimeCert TSP helps customers become TSPs by enabling them to meet TSP eIDAS certification requirements and get to market faster.
PrimeCert TSP is a turnkey solution to start your Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) business eIDAS compliant combining hardware, software, structures, personnel, policies and processes to create, manage, store, distribute and revoke digital certificates, providing a simple, redundant, highly reliable, scalable and highly secure solution for device and user authentication.

PrimeCert TSP is a fully manageable service offering that enables organizations to build and manage their PKI infrastructure on their own or through the full or partial assistance of itAgile for digital certificate management and take advantage of the best practices and high availability of a PKI platform designed and managed by security experts for digital certificate lifecycle management.

Based on a proven and highly reliable infrastructure, PrimeCert TSP reduces time to market, the costs and complexities associated with creating and managing a PKI and gives organizations the ability to focus on delivering solutions, rather than infrastructure.
The PrimeCert TSP solution includes a certification authority (CA), the primary component of a public key infrastructure (PKI) that is responsible for creating a trusted hierarchical chain. The CA releases the digital credentials used to certify the identity of the users.
PrimeCert TSP reduces the burden of planning, creating, and maintaining a PKI, while allowing companies to maintain internal control over the issuance, suspension, and revocation of digital certificates.
The PrimeCert TSP customer must still get eIDAS certification, but all the “pieces” of the certification puzzle are in place.
