Solution Scenarios

Multi-Region Trust

Design CA hierarchies that respect data sovereignty requirements while enabling cross-region trust where appropriate.

Example

Separate issuing CAs per region with centralized or federated root trust

Service Mesh Integration

Integrate PKI with service mesh platforms for automatic workload identity and mTLS.

Example

Istio, Linkerd, and Consul Connect with custom CA integration

Legacy Modernization

Upgrade existing PKI infrastructure to modern cryptographic standards without disrupting operations.

Example

Migration from SHA-1/RSA-1024 to ECDSA/SHA-384 with compatibility layer

Isolated Environments

PKI for air-gapped, classified, or highly regulated environments with strict operational requirements.

Example

Offline root CA with manual certificate transport and verification

Platform Integrations

Kubernetes

cert-manager, external issuers

Istio

Custom CA integration, workload identity

HashiCorp Vault

PKI secrets engine integration

SPIFFE/SPIRE

Workload identity federation

AWS/GCP/Azure

Cloud PKI and KMS integration

Active Directory

Enterprise CA integration

Cryptographic Modernization

Legacy Issues

  • SHA-1 and weak hash algorithms
  • RSA keys smaller than 2048 bits
  • Long certificate validity periods
  • Missing revocation infrastructure

Modern Standards

  • ECDSA P-256/P-384 and SHA-256/384
  • RSA 2048+ or migration to ECC
  • Short-lived certificates (90 days or less)
  • Full OCSP and CRL coverage
