British High Street Bank Case Study
Security As A Service
A major British High Street Bank has adopted the Crypto Service
Gateway (CSG) solution to support a new approach to provision of
security and cryptography across the breadth of its applications
and products. The Cryptomathic CSG allows the bank to centralise
hardware cryptography, management of keys, and to have fine-grained
policy enforcement and
auditing over access to key material where only fragmented support
existed before. The core aim has been to increase technical
efficiency across all departments concerned with cryptographic
processes, and the bank chose Cryptomathic's solution and
contributed towards its second generation incarnation as the
world's first complete software solution for deploying a cost and
time saving, scalable and reliable security service.

MasterCard Case Study
Centralised Key Management
MasterCard Europe used to put much effort into maintaining the
keys in their network. They had staff employed that would travel
between their hundreds of member banks and update the keys in their
network by entering them manually into each box in the distributed
network. Today they manage this process centrally from their
secured operations venue with multiple and secure user
authentication, each with their unique administrative role and
credentials. From here the operators can update and configure the
cryptographic keys on each individual Network Security Platform
(NSP) as well as enter new, shared network keys into all boxes with
just a click on a button.

and start home banking.
