ADSS OCSP Server Achieved FIPS 201 Certification
London, United Kingdom (PRWEB UK) 26 July 2016 -- The GSA APL is essential for product procurement for the US Federal Government Homeland Security Presidential Directive 12 (HSPD-12). The issued certificate for ADSS OCSP Server can be found here.
Based on widely adopted open OCSP standards ADSS OCSP Server validates the status of digital certificates in real time, ensuring that revoked digital credentials cannot be used for smart card login, secure email, web access, wireless, VPN, or other electronic transactions. To comply with this Directive government agencies have for some time been issuing Personal Identity Verification (PIV) smart cards to their employees and contractors.
Our ADSS OCSP Server was previously FIPS 201 certified (APL#583) in July 2011 and its renewal in July 2016 (APL#1411) extends Ascertia’s capability in the certificate validation field and demonstrates our global leadership in this area. We are delighted about the opportunities for substantial growth together with our existing US partners.
ADSS OCSP Server was tested using a Microsoft Azure Key Vault using Thales nShield to provide powerful FIPS 140-2 certified cryptographic algorithm and key management capabilities and passed all the test. The FIPS 201 testing was conducted by atsec information security, a security services testing laboratory with considerable experience in FIPS 201 evaluations.
