Nexus Certificate Manager is a flexible certificate authority (CA) platform with support for multitenancy and multiple use cases. It creates, issues, and manages the life-cycle of eIDs for people, infrastructure and things. The product manages certificates as well as private and public keys in public key infrastructures (PKI).
If the security of keys and certificates generated needs to be enhanced, the Nexus Certificate Manager needs to be configured to use a Hardware Security Module (HSM). When the HSM module is enabled with Nexus, this strengthens the protection of keys and certificates.
