This document provides an overview of Active Directory Certificate Services (AD CS) in Windows Server® 2012. AD CS is the Server Role that allows you to build a public key infrastructure (PKI) and provide public key cryptography, digital certificates, and digital signature capabilities for your organization. AD CS provides customizable services for issuing and managing digital certificates used in software security systems that employ public key technologies. The digital certificates that AD CS provides can be used to encrypt and digitally sign electronic documents and messages. These digital certificates can be used for authentication of computer, user, or device accounts on a network. You can use AD CS to enhance security by binding the identity of a person, device, or service to a corresponding private key. AD CS gives you a cost-effective, efficient, and secure way to manage the distribution and use of certificates.

AWS Certificate Manager is a service that lets you easily provision, manage, and deploy public and private Secure Sockets Layer/Transport Layer Security (SSL/TLS) certificates for use with AWS services and your internal connected resources. SSL/TLS certificates are used to secure network communications and establish the identity of websites over the Internet as well as resources on private networks. AWS Certificate Manager removes the time-consuming manual process of purchasing, uploading, and renewing SSL/TLS certificates.

KeyScaler® is a purpose-built device identity centric IAM platform for IoT and Blockchain. It allows customers to securely register, provision and connect devices to IoT platforms, applications and services. The platform simplifies the process of establishing a robust, end-to-end security architecture within the IoT and deliver efficiencies at scale through security automation, without human intervention. With the enormous and dynamic scale of the IoT where new devices are continually being provisioned, this process rapidly becomes unmanageable without automation. The IoT demands an approach to identification that starts with individual devices – authenticated automatically and dynamically, with no manual intervention required. Device Authority has developed a flexible device interface protocol that interoperates with KeyScaler® for delivering automated PKI for IoT devices - providing two alternatives for device authentication.

KeyTalk is independent of Certificate Authorities and linked to a large number of public CAs both GMO GlobalSign and Digicert QuoVadis. Switching between CAs is simple and easy, even when thousands of certificates and end-points are involved. A vendor lock-in is therefore no longer the case. KeyTalk contains an internal CA for the generation of private certificates and keys. Did you use previously expensive public certificates for internal purposes? Or did you run into the limited functionality of Microsoft CS and other private CAs? Then, you will like our internal CA, private PKI certificate issuance. KeyTalk keeps track of the lifecycle of your certificates in a fully automated way. This way, you always have a complete and up to date overview of all your certificates, including the certificate name, SAN and validity. Also, things like used crypto keys and algorithms of internal and external certificates can be included.
