Public Key Infrastructure

Control your keys. Control your data.

PKI is the foundation of digital trust — and digital sovereignty. Nomios helps organisations design, deploy, and operate the cryptographic infrastructure that puts them in full control of who can access and read their most sensitive data.

Introduction

Trust is built on cryptography. Cryptography depends on PKI.

Every encrypted connection, every signed document, every authenticated device, and every trusted application in your organisation ultimately relies on a Public Key Infrastructure. When that infrastructure is well-designed and properly operated, it is invisible — a silent guarantor of trust across your entire digital environment.

When it is not — certificates expire unexpectedly, trust chains break, systems go offline, and attackers exploit the gaps. Nomios brings the architecture, engineering, and operational expertise to build PKI that works reliably, scales with your organisation, and keeps you in genuine control.

Digital sovereignty

When you control your keys, you control your data.

In an era of cloud services, cross-border data flows, and geopolitical uncertainty, digital sovereignty has moved from a policy discussion to a boardroom priority. PKI is at the centre of that conversation.

Owning and operating your own certificate authority means no third party can issue certificates in your name, access your encrypted data, or revoke your ability to operate. Your cryptographic trust is yours — not leased from a vendor, not dependent on a cloud provider's availability, and not subject to foreign jurisdiction.

No third-party dependency

Your CA operates under your control, in your jurisdiction, on your terms.

Data remains yours

Only you hold the keys. No cloud provider or foreign authority can decrypt your data without your permission.

Regulatory confidence

NIS2, DORA, and GDPR all benefit from demonstrable control over cryptographic infrastructure.

Operational resilience

Your certificate infrastructure does not go down because a third-party CA has an outage or a pricing change.
What PKI enables

The foundation beneath everything

PKI is not a product — it is an enabling infrastructure. These are the capabilities it makes possible.

icon TLS / HTTPS encryption

TLS / HTTPS encryption

Securing web applications, APIs, and internal services with certificates that authenticate servers and encrypt traffic in transit.
icon Device & machine identity

Device & machine identity

Issuing certificates to endpoints, servers, IoT devices, and workloads — enabling zero trust network access and mutual TLS.
icon User authentication

User authentication

Certificate-based authentication — a stronger alternative to passwords, enabling passwordless and smart card login.
icon Code & document signing

Code & document signing

Signing software and documents to verify authenticity — ensuring recipients know who produced the content and that it has not been tampered with.
icon S/MIME email encryption

S/MIME email encryption

End-to-end encryption and signing of email — protecting sensitive correspondence and verifying sender identity.
icon Zero trust & mTLS

Zero trust & mTLS

Mutual TLS between services and workloads — the cryptographic foundation of zero trust where every connection must be authenticated.

Is your PKI ready for post-quantum cryptography?

The algorithms underpinning today's PKI — RSA and ECC — will be vulnerable to quantum computing. A well-designed PKI should be crypto-agile: able to migrate algorithms without rebuilding everything. We help you assess readiness and plan the transition now.

Why Nomios

What sets our PKI practice apart

Genuine cryptographic expertise

Our PKI architects understand cryptographic standards and CA hierarchies — not just the configuration screens of a vendor platform.

Sovereignty by design

We design PKI architectures that put clients in genuine control — with explicit attention to jurisdiction, key custody, and operational independence.

Quantum-ready architecture

Every PKI we design is evaluated for crypto agility — able to accommodate post-quantum algorithms without a complete rebuild.

Connected to CLM and HSM

PKI is most effective when paired with certificate lifecycle management and hardware-backed key storage. Our practice covers all three from the outset.
