CRYPTO CONTROL

Control certificate and cryptographic service lifecycles.

SYNRION x.BIND connects certificates and cryptographic services to the applications that depend on them. It replaces manual handovers with workflows that make responsibility and state enforceable.

CONTROLLED TARGET STATE SERVICE BOUND
01 · Problem

Certificate work becomes disconnected from the service it protects.

Renewal, binding and exception handling often depend on tickets, spreadsheets and individual knowledge. Teams may know that a certificate exists without having one reliable view of its operational context.

02 · Control

Lifecycle control stays connected to the application.

x.BIND brings lifecycle steps, cryptographic services and application relationships into one controlled workflow. Responsibility and required actions remain visible from request through operation.

TECHNICAL CONTROL

Make cryptographic service delivery controllable.

x.BIND focuses on the operational connections that are lost when certificate tasks are handled as isolated tickets.

01

Lifecycle control

Keep renewal, binding and exception handling within a defined operational process.

02

Application binding

Connect certificates and cryptographic services to the applications and services that depend on them.

03

Enforceable workflows

Replace informal handovers with clear steps, responsibility and visible operating state.

FEATURES AT A GLANCE

From cryptographic inventory to a controlled target state.

This checklist shows the operating tasks x.BIND connects. Every function remains linked to the application, endpoint and accountable process it supports.

01

Inventory & context

Cryptographic objects become visible where they are actually used.

  • Available Discover certificates, keys and algorithms

    Combine cryptographic inventory from connected sources in a current technical view.

  • Available Application and endpoint binding

    Relate certificates and keys to the applications, services and endpoints that depend on them.

  • Available Automatic application discovery and binding

    Discover applications and cryptographic services on connected systems and relate certificates and keys to their actual use.

  • Available Verify trust chains and active state

    Make installed chains, the chain actually in use and its validity understandable in operation.

02

Lifecycle & safe change

Change runs as a controlled process instead of a sequence of isolated tickets.

  • Available Issue, renew and replace

    Control certificate lifecycles with clear states, responsibilities and verifiable transitions.

  • Available Safe endpoint transition

    Bind new certificates under control, verify the active state and only then retire the previous state.

  • Available Convergent target state

    Continuously drive reachable and managed endpoints toward the defined target state while keeping deviations visible.

  • Available Non-disruptive binding in HA environments

    Orchestrate bindings across redundant systems, shift load or failover under control and verify the target state without a planned service interruption.

  • Available Controlled certificate cleanup

    Remove unwanted certificates deliberately and clean archived certificate entries according to a defined policy.

03

Crypto agility & policy

Requirements stay connected to real use and controlled implementation.

  • Available Best-practice X.509 security baseline

    Compare certificate parameters and use with defined security requirements and flag deviations.

  • Available Automated algorithm and policy change

    Find affected services, orchestrate change and verify the new state after transition.

  • Available Deviation dashboard

    Keep policy violations, pending change and unreachable systems distinct from confirmed target state.

04

Evidence & integration

Current data can be used, exchanged and prepared for evidence.

  • Available Machine-readable CBOM export via API

    Provide cryptographic components and their SYNRION context to external systems in structured form.

  • Available Open integration in both directions

    Connect external systems through the SYNRION API and consume SYNRION data through the same integration layer. In the keyONE development and test environment, we validate integration paths with Microsoft Active Directory Certificate Services (AD CS) on Azure VMs, Microsoft Cloud PKI for Microsoft Intune, Keyfactor EJBCA Enterprise, MTG Certificate Lifecycle Manager (MTG CLM), MTG CARA, Nexus Smart ID Certificate Manager, m2trust, Sectigo Certificate Manager, Thales Luna Network HSM, Nitrokey NetHSM and Yubico YubiHSM 2.

  • Available Current reports and change history

    Prepare state, deviation, decision and completed remediation for operations and audit traceability.

OPERATING CONTEXT

Where x.BIND creates clarity.

Use x.BIND when certificate lifecycle work is technically critical but operational responsibility is fragmented.

01

Enterprise PKI and CLM

Connect lifecycle processes to the services and applications they support.

02

HSM and key management

Keep cryptographic service context visible alongside certificate and binding decisions.

03

Application and service owners

Give responsible teams a shared view of required actions and the resulting target state.
