CoreStreet Validation Software for Digital Certificates

The ActivIdentity CoreStreet suite of PKI certificate validation products is a complete solution that allows for the secure, scalable and reliable validation of digital certificates using both traditional as well as distributed OCSP, and this for certificate populations of any size.

The architecture of the ActivIdentity CoreStreet Validation solution is comprised of the following main components:

• a Validation Authority, or several in the case of high availability failover environments, hosted in a secure location, very often the same location as the Certificate Authority (CA)
• any number of VA Responders which can be hosted in non-secure locations close to relying parties and provide standard OCSP service to the relying parties
• relying parties using an OCSP toolkit, application or plug-ins, such as the ActivIdentity CoreStreet Desktop Validation Client (DVC) or ActivIdentity CoreStreet Server Validation Extension (SerVE), to obtain OCSP responses
