Cryptographic Service

Digi-CA™

The Cryptographic Service Provider [CSP] Service Module is a software application that ultimately provides the most of cryptographic operations to the system and is effectively responsible for generating all public key certificates. Due to the high severity for the security of this module, it is not accessible through any network communications protocol. This design imposes an asynchronous certificate generation and distribution model.
