HID ActivID Validation

Scalable and secure PKI certificate validation

HID ActivID Validation is a robust, scalable Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) certificate validation solution designed for large organizations and governments.

It ensures the real-time legitimacy of digital certificates using Online Certificate Status Protocol (OCSP) and Server-based Certificate Validation Protocol (SCVP), protecting networks by checking for revoked or invalid credentials.

Key Components of the ActivID Validation Suite

Validation Authority (VA): Ensures the accuracy of certificate status information.
Validation Responder (VR): Delivers fast and scalable OCSP responses.
Validation Clients (Desktop/Server): Enables workstations (Windows) and servers (IIS, OWA) to check certificate status.

Key Features and Capabilities

Real-time Revocation Checking: Supports OCSP and Certificate Revocation Lists (CRLs) to immediately identify compromised or expired certificates.
Delegated Validation: Supports SCVP for complex federated PKI environments.
High Security & Compliance: Used in regulated industries and government for smart card authentication, VPN access, and digital signing.
Flexible Deployment: Available as software, virtual appliances, or hardware appliances.
Integration: Integrates with HID Authentication Server for step-up authentication.
