OUTDATED AUTHENTICATION MODELS
Physical tokens and smart cards are expensive to manage at scale & incompatible with mobile-first strategies.
SOFTNET is a trusted technology consultancy based in Peru, serving clients across Latin America with a focus on cybersecurity, digital identity, and digital transformation. For more than 20 years, SOFTNET has helped private and public sector organisations build secure, scalable, and regulatory-compliant systems, including electronic signature infrastructures, PKI frameworks, and key management platforms. Their role as both advisor and systems integrator positions them at the heart of many national-level security and compliance programmes in the region.
PROBLEM
Delivering secure digital signature, identity, and cryptographic solutions across Latin America.
CHALLENGE
Supporting clients in highly regulated sectors with modern, compliant, and future-proof trust services.
SOLUTION
Partnering with Cryptomathic to deliver flexible, certified trust infrastructure for use across e-government, finance, and national identity schemes.
THE PARTNER VIEW
“Cryptomathic offers excellent technology, a clear product roadmap, and strong backing when it comes to implementation and support. They’re a natural partner for critical infrastructure projects”.
SOFTNET operates in a region with rapidly evolving digital governance. From digitised public services to electronic invoicing and national ID schemes, there is strong demand for modern, compliant trust infrastructure. However, regulatory requirements differ by country, and technical maturity varies widely across institutions.
Banks, ministries, and identity authorities are all grappling with complex rollouts of secure authentication, signing, and data protection frameworks, often without the benefit of standardisation.
OUTDATED AUTHENTICATION MODELS
Physical tokens and smart cards are expensive to manage at scale & incompatible with mobile-first strategies.
COMPLEX LEGAL COMPLIANCE
Navigating different national regulations (some aligned to eIDAS) places a heavy burden on implementation teams.
CREDENTIAL THEFT & IMPERSONATION
Without robust cryptographic signing and MFA, institutions face risks of phishing & identity fraud.
LIMITED INTEROPERABILITY
Fragmented technical stacks & infrastructures leads to difficulty in adopting new services or connecting with cross-border trust frameworks.
SOFTNET’s selection of Cryptomathic was based on a combination of product maturity, regulatory readiness, and practical implementation support. With a long history of collaboration, the relationship is defined not just by technology, but by transparency and trust.
MATURE PRODUCT STACK: Cryptomathic’s Signer solution is widely certified, including compliance with Common Criteria, eIDAS, and ETSI standards.
IMPLEMENTATION SUPPORT: The Cryptomathic team works hands-on with SOFTNET and end clients to tailor deployments to national and sector-specific requirements.
STRATEGIC ROADMAP: Regular updates and alignment with evolving global frameworks (e.g., eIDAS 2.0, NIST standards) ensure the platform remains future-ready.
SHARED VALUES: Both partners prioritise clarity, compliance, and long-term customer satisfaction, especially when national infrastructure is involved.
“Cryptomathic provides both the technology and the partnership model we need. We don’t just get a product. We get architectural support, roadmap insight, and trusted collaboration. That’s essential when we’re dealing with regulators or designing national frameworks.”
