About Obsidian

Our EMV CA

Obsidian CA (Certificate Authority) enables local domestic schemes to provide payment alternatives.

If you want to run a national domestic payment scheme, you can still use the EMV® technology rails independently, but you need an additional strong EMV CA management solution, to provide the root of trust in your scheme.

Key Benefits of OBSIDIAN CA

Our technology masters have crafted easy-to-use software that:

  • Allows central authorities to issue and manage CA and issuer certificates within a given region
  • Helps onboard card issuers and payment processors to national payment schemes
  • Can be tailored to specific requirements of regional or national schemes

Each Certificate Authority may have several self-signed CA certificates.

A Certificate Authority issues “Issuer Public Key certificates” using a specific CA key, and can be set up to be compliant with the likes of Mastercard or Visa. The compliance determines which formats are used for data exchange with other systems.

 

We’ve designed ObsidianCA to manage all certificate related tasks:

  • Lifecycle management of EMV® Issuer CA certificates
  • Issue certificates
  • Export certificates
  • Revoke certificates
  • Certification authority CRL (Certificate Revocation List)
  • Issuer CRL (Certificate Revocation List)

EMV® is a registered trademark in the U.S. and other countries and an unregistered trade mark elsewhere. The EMV trademark is owned by EMVCo, LLC.
