Zusammenfassung:Processing within a computing environment is facilitated by generating a hybrid security certificate using multiple cryptosystems. The generating includes obtaining data for inclusion in the hybrid security certificate, and generating a first digital signature associated with a first cryptosystem to cover the data, and a second digital signature associated with a second cryptosystem to cover the data. The generating further includes providing the hybrid security certificate, where the hybrid security certificate includes the data, the first digital signature associated with the first cryptosystem, and the second digital signature associated with the second cryptosystem, and where the first digital signature has no dependency on a key of the second cryptosystem or the second digital signature, and the second digital signature has no dependency on a key of the first cryptosystem or the first digital signature.
