Core Capabilities

​
Centralized Certificate Visibility

KryptoVault consolidates certificate information from multiple sources into a centralized inventory. This centralized view helps organizations identify where certificates are located, who owns them, when they expire, and whether they meet defined security standards.

​
Certificate Discovery

KryptoVault discovers certificates across supported infrastructure and cloud environments.

​
Certificate Inventory Management

The certificate inventory provides a unified repository for discovered, imported, enrolled, generated, and renewed certificates. Inventory data may include: The inventory supports enterprise-wide certificate visibility and lifecycle governance.

​
Certificate Health and Validation

KryptoVault evaluates certificate configuration, trust, and cryptographic strength. Validation capabilities may include:
  • Certificate-chain validation
  • Root and intermediate CA verification

Validation results allow security teams to identify certificates requiring review or remediation.

​
Cryptographic Risk Assessment

KryptoVault identifies certificate-related cryptographic and operational risks. The platform may classify certificates into risk categories such as:

Risk distribution provides a prioritized view of certificate security exposure.

​
Post-Quantum Readiness

KryptoVault evaluates whether certificates use cryptographic algorithms classified as post-quantum compatible. The product can present:
  • Post-quantum readiness status
  • Public key algorithm
  • Signature algorithm
  • Public key object identifier
  • Signature object identifier

This capability supports cryptographic inventory assessment and future post-quantum migration planning.

​
Certificate Lifecycle Management

KryptoVault tracks certificates throughout their operational lifecycle. Lifecycle states may include:
  • Discovered

  • Renewed
  • Revoked
  • Deleted
Each lifecycle activity may record:
  • Event type
  • Date and time
  • User
  • Source
  • Certificate store
  • Issuer
  • Related request or job
This provides traceability and an auditable history of certificate operations.

​
Expiration and Renewal Management

The platform monitors certificate and issuer expiration to reduce service disruption. Expiration capabilities include:
  • Expired-certificate identification
  • Near-expiry monitoring
  • Expiration trend analysis
  • Issuer expiration monitoring
  • Certificate validity-duration display
  • Renewal eligibility
  • Renewal actions
  • Expiration notifications
The dashboard highlights expired certificates and certificates approaching expiration within configured time windows.

​
Issuer and Remote CA Management

KryptoVault supports centralized management of certificate issuers and Remote Certificate Authority integrations. Issuer-management capabilities may include:
  • Public CA visibility
  • Private CA visibility
  • Remote CA configuration
  • Issuer certificate monitoring
  • Issuer validity tracking
  • Certificate profile management
  • Issuance relationship tracking
  • Issuer expiration monitoring
This enables organizations to operate across multi-CA and hybrid PKI environments.

​
Certificate Store Management

Certificate stores represent managed destinations where certificates can be imported, enrolled, stored, synchronized, or deployed. KryptoVault provides visibility into:
  • Linked certificate stores
  • Enrollment stores
  • Discovery stores
  • Certificate-to-store associations
  • Store assignment
  • Store removal
  • Certificate deployment destinations
  • Store-level ownership and metadata
A certificate may be linked to multiple certificate stores depending on operational requirements.

​
CSR and Certificate Issuance

KryptoVault supports Certificate Signing Request generation and certificate issuance workflows. CSR lifecycle states may include:
  • Created
  • Validating
  • Submitted
  • Signed
  • Imported
  • Rejected
  • Cancelled
The platform provides visibility into CSR processing, signing, import status, certificate issuance, and related lifecycle events.

​
Private Key Management

KryptoVault associates private keys with managed certificates and controls access through role-based permissions. Private key capabilities may include:
  • Private key association
  • Private key ownership
  • Key availability status
  • Key assignment
