PKI
A Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) consists of hardware components, network infrastructure, network protocols, software, secure operating procedures and a legal framework. It enables users and devices to exchange data over unsecured channels such as the Internet with privacy and/or authentication. It also supports securing data at rest.

IRP
Identity Registration Protocol (IRP) is a digital certificate automation platform for the request, retrieval, deployment and ongoing management of digital X.509 certificates across all use-cases. Secure communication over IANA awarded port 4604, IRP forms the core of the Sixscape solution portfolio.
IPv6
IPv6 is the 3rd internet and supersedes the limited use and address space provided by IPv4. IPv6 provides essentially an unlimited number of public IP addresses and enables a new breed of technology to be developed and deployed across networks including 5G and providing an additional layer of security and connectivity.

DNSSEC
DNSSEC are Security Extensions deployed in DNS to securely sign DNS zones and domains to prevent a number of widespread DNS security issues including DNS poisoning. Sixscape deploys DNSSEC on the SixscapeDNS solution for IPv6 networks and provides extension automation around key signing key and zone signing key rollover in addition to IPv6 instant prefix renumbering.

Post Quantum Cryptography
The advent of quantum computers (ones with massive parallelism) threaten the security of public key cryptographic algorithms like RSA and ECC used in almost all digital certificates. Within 10 years or so, quantum computers may be able to break RSA 2048 keys in les than one day, compared to thousands of years with traditional computers. This is not an issue for most certificates, but some go into cars and other products that may be around for decades. Sixscape is working with various CAs and vendors who are creating a new generation of quantum-safe algorithms. We will be including support for these in our products in the near future.
Sixcape builds Crypto Agility into our solutions and works with Certification Authorities and Quantum Cryptography industry vendors do deliver Quantum Safe technology across its platforms to ensure customers are safe from future quantum attacks.
