Keyfactor Winter Product Briefing

Cryptographic Discovery in Action

The clock is ticking. Every product sold into Europe after December 11, 2027, must be CRA-compliant. The CRA has dozens of requirements that span a product’s entire lifecycle, from first boot to decommissioning. This means OEMs must design their products to support not only the security of today, but also the security of the future, including planning for post-quantum cryptography (PQC). 

This requires a device to be able to:  

Utilize Secure Boot to allow only trusted firmware to run on the devices  

Receive and execute software updates, and ensure that the updates are authentic, unaltered, and only from a trusted source.   

Securely signing code is the current gold standard for OEMs, but manual processes, siloed signing tools, and keys left unprotected are just a few of the risks that organizations face when preparing to comply with CRA.  

In this webinar, you will learn: 

Why code signing is so important and its multiple roles in product security  

Code signing’s significance in the Cyber Resilience Act

Moving Faster on Shorter Certificate Lifecycles with Automation

Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) is foundational to enterprise security, yet its resilience depends on the quality of entropy behind cryptographic keys. Traditional entropy gathering is struggling with advances in technology which make traditional "opportunistic"  sources we gather entropy from less and less useful. This problem, coupled with expanding digital ecosystems, shorter certificate lifespans, and looming post-quantum requirements is making traditional entropy techniques increasingly inadequate.

In this webinar, Quside and Keyfactor will demonstrate how quantum entropy, delivered through QRNG technology, strengthens PKI security and performance. Learn how our joint integration of EJBCA, along with Quside’s PCIe One quantum entropy solution, enables organizations to issue and manage certificates with measurable, verifiable randomness.
