Case Study: Hyperledger achieves stronger blockchain cybersecurity with DigiCert and Thales

DigiCert rapidly sets up PKI for Hyperledger Fabric with Hyperledger

DigiCert, a leading provider of PKI, faced the challenge of ensuring robust security for users of Hyperledger Fabric, a distributed ledger technology. While blockchain offers advantages, it does not inherently provide complete Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) or secure key management, leaving systems vulnerable if basic security tenets are ignored. DigiCert partnered with vendor Thales to address this critical gap and bring trust to the platform.

The solution implemented by Thales and DigiCert involved integrating DigiCert's certificate authority (CA) services with Thales's Luna Hardware Security Modules (HSMs). This combination provided a secure, scalable, and compliant PKI infrastructure for Hyperledger Fabric users, allowing for rapid setup and the highest level of trust and certificate management. The results included a cost-effective and scalable data security solution that can be deployed on-premises or in the cloud, heavily assuring and protecting the integrity of the blockchain.
