In their own words
Keyfactor Platform
Keyfactor Platform, through Keyfactor Command, gives PKI, security, infrastructure, and DevOps teams visibility into certificates and tools to govern their lifecycle. It can inventory certificates from certificate authorities, scan networks for unknown SSL/TLS certificates, and connect to key and certificate stores. Teams can automate enrollment, renewal, revocation, and provisioning, with self-service workflows available through a user interface or API. Listed enrollment protocols are SCEP, ACME, and EST. Administrators can set role-based permissions, protect private keys with retention and storage policies, and require enrollment or approval workflows. Integrations span CI/CD, cloud, HSM, IoT, ITSM, public and private certificate authorities, and web servers. Deployment options are on premises, as a hosted certificate lifecycle service, or as fully managed PKI in a single-tenant cloud platform. Keyfactor says Command has been tested for deployments with more than 500 million certificates. A 30-day trial is offered. Pricing is available on request, and there are no per-certificate fees listed.
Red Hat Trusted Artifact Signer
Red Hat Trusted Artifact Signer (RHTAS) helps organizations sign and verify software artifacts, including container images, binaries, documents, source-code commits, software bills of materials, build artifacts, and AI/ML models. Red Hat describes it as an enterprise deployment of Sigstore. Its client tools include cosign, gitsign, and rekor-cli. Signing can use OpenID Connect identities or self-managed keys held in a third-party key management system. A certificate transparency log records signing events in an immutable ledger that Red Hat says is inaccessible to the public. Deployment guidance covers Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform and Red Hat Enterprise Linux; Amazon EKS is listed as a development preview for RHTAS 1.4. The OpenShift guide requires version 4.16 or later, cluster-admin access, an OIDC provider, and the oc command-line tool. CLI binaries are listed for Windows, macOS, and Linux. Pricing is on request, and a 60-day trial is listed. Signing and verifying AI/ML models with the CLI is marked Technology Preview and is not covered by production SLAs.
