The Path Builder Systemfor Federated PKI |
The Path Builder System - A scalable, standards-based approach for trust between organisations
Although many organisations have deployed Public Key Infrastructures (PKIs), there have been no standards-based solutions for trust between entities. As a result, government and industry have had to rely on time-consuming, expensive, paper-based systems, or struggle with incompatible electronic options.
The CoreStreet Path Builder System uses Server-based Certificate Validation Protocol (SCVP) to provide the trust necessary for secure, legally-binding communications and transactions. In this way, the Path Builder System enables organisations within a federated environment, such as companies within an industry or government departments and agencies, to extend their PKI investment and transact with other participating organisations.
The Path Builder System reduces costs, increases efficiency, and significantly improves the security of communications and transactions between these parties.
Key features
Interoperable
The Path Builder System is entirely standards-based (X.509, SCVP, and OCSP), ensuring interoperability with other standards-based applications.
CoreStreet offers free toolkits for organisations looking to enable their applications to function within a federated environment.

High performance
The Path Builder System quickly determines if a certificate in a PKI-enabled transaction is still valid. The Path Builder architecture provides these responses in fractions of a second, ensuring that end-user experience is positive.
Scalable Built on CoreStreet’s distributed architecture, the Path Builder System meets the needs of the largest and most demanding government organisations and corporations
around the world.
Secure
The Path Builder System architecture does not have a single point of failure, it eliminates intrusion threats, and it mitigates the threat of a denial of service attacks. Additionally, CoreStreet’s Path Builder System is built on the Common Criteria-certified CoreStreet Validation Authority and is designed to be implemented using FIPS 140-2 certified hardware security modules.
