About Redtrust

Redtrust is a digital identity management platform that centralizes and secures digital certificates for businesses. It provides a comprehensive solution to manage the full lifecycle of digital certificates, including issuance, usage, and storage.

To use the platform you need to install a Redtrust agent, a lightweight you can install on your computer. Once installed and connected, the agent runs quietly in the background and becomes active when you need to use a certificate.

If you are a Redtrust administrator, you can use Redtrust's admin console to manage agents remotely. The admin console is an online interface that you can use to control and monitor the agents on all connected devices, as well as configure and manage certificates.
