A Thales e-Security Case Study
Operational Research Consultants, Inc. (ORC) had to deliver cloud-based identity management for federal use while meeting strict U.S. government security, certification, and interoperability requirements. The company needed high assurance cryptography to protect root and issuing certificate authority keys and to support programs such as PIV, PIV-I, and other high-assurance credentials.
ORC used Thales e-Security nShield Hardware Security Modules in its PIVotal ID™ service to protect cryptographic keys and support secure certificate issuance in the cloud. The solution backed ORC’s federally trusted identity services, which manage more than three million identities and have issued more than 10 million federal-compliant digital certificates.
