Valimo Introduces a Solution to Enhance Its Flagship Product to Provide OCSP
Valimo OCSP Module extends Valimo Validator's service API to offer Online Certificate Status Protocol (OCSP)

Valimo Validator a self-sustained server software for providing authentication and transaction validation through PKI technology has now even more advantages: With the use of Valimo's OCSP Module, Valimo Validator can service requests from other systems that need critical information about a certificate's validity.

"This solution is a consequent step towards providing more economies of scope for customers, who have chosen Valimo Validator for handling user authentication and transaction validation tasks", says Mikko Virtanen, CTO at Valimo Wireless. "Adopting the OCSP standard for certificate validation services is a clear execution of Valimo's strategy to offer standard based interfaces when ever applicable.", Mr. Virtanen continues.

Using Valimo Validator equipped with Valimo OCSP Module to handle OCSP requests has three distinct benefits:

Other backend systems can rely on Valimo Validator to handle the complexity of PKI-based security services such as transaction validation and user authentication ensuring message integrity, non-repudiation and auditing.
External parties can query Valimo Validator using OCSP and be billed accordingly with the information assembled in the billing database.
Valimo Validator becomes a system for offering user authentication, transaction validation and certificate validation services with developer-friendly interfaces.

Valimo OCSP module is compliant to the Internet standard RFC 2650.
