Introduction to Entrust CSP

CSP 1.5

See the following sections for an overview of the CSP 1.5 release.

What’s New in CSP 1.5?

CSP 1.5 updates only the PKI Hub appliance, which delivers the Certificate Management capabilities. For more information, see the Cryptographic Security Platform 1.5 - PKI Hub 1.6 Installation, Administration and User Guide.

The appliances that deliver the following capabilities remain at CSP 1.4 and receive no updates in CSP 1.5:

  • Compliance Management
  • HSM Management
  • Keys and Secrets Management
  • File Encryption

Compatibility with CSP 1.4 appliances

CSP 1.5 supports mixed-version deployments in which CSP 1.5 - PKI Hub 1.6 is used together with CSP 1.4 appliances.

This allows customers to benefit from the latest PKI Hub improvements delivered with CSP 1.5 while continuing to operate the remaining appliances on CSP 1.4.
