- Organizations securing access to partner portals
- Governments, banks and healthcare providers securing access to online services for citizens, customers and patients
Organizations can reduce costs by deploying a single solution capable of handling a versatile range of multi-factor authentication methods, enabling users to connect securely from any location, at any time via their preferred device.
The ActivID solution supports multi-factor authentication with all leading mobile phones and tablets. Built-in support for open protocols ensures that it can be easily integrated into enterprise infrastructure, cloud based services and internet banking engines.
Available as a virtual appliance or as hardware, the ActivID Appliance strikes the perfect balance between security, flexibility, cost and convenience.
HID Global’s ActivID® Validation Responder is a cost effective solution for scaling a PKI Certificate validation service centered around the ActivID Validation Authority Each Validation Responder provides a local OSCP service providing real time validation without the overhead of connecting to the centralized service. Organizations deploying the ActivID Validation Responder benefit from increased security and trust by validating certificates at time of usage, without negatively impacting end user experience.
The ActivID Validation Responder, deployed with the ActivID Validation Authority, is ideal for large organizations needing to implement real-time validation services across multiple regional networks. It is also a good fit for government agencies and partner networks participating in a federated Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) comprising multiple Certificate Authorities (CAs), in which each party requires the ability to validate the status and authenticity of external credentials.
The unique distributed architecture of the solution eliminates the need for securing individual Validation Responders with their own signing keys. This greatly reduces the cost and complexity typically associated with enterprise-wide PKI deployments. Data compression optimizes network resources and bandwidth and enables the solution to scale to address user populations of millions of certificates with response times that are virtually instantaneous.
The ActivID Validation Responder is available as software, hardware appliance or virtual appliance to best fit your deployment strategy. The appliance form-factor simplifies administration and makes it easy to scale as required.
Key Features
The ActivID Validation Responder enables organizations to scale their PKI validation throughout their network. The solution supports:
- Strong security: PKI validation information is digitally signed to prevent tampering, but requires no cryptography to be performed by the appliance. This eliminates the need to implement costly security measures, allowing the appliance to be optimized for network performance.
- Industry Standards: Full compliance with industry OCSP, SCVP and PKI standards is met, as defined in their respective RFC specifications. The solution can be used with any standard OCSP and SCVP client.
- Scalability: Easily install more Validation Responders in your deployment to scale an OCSP service to where it is needed.
HID Global’s ActivID® Authentication Appliance is used worldwide to secure access to critical infrastructure and data, so organizations can stay ahead of an ever-changing threat landscape without disrupting user workflow and productivity. The solution is easy to deploy and helps achieve compliance with industry mandates, policies and guidelines.
The ActivID Authentication Appliance supports multi-factor authentication with all leading mobile phones and tablets and provides a flexible platform that can grow with changing needs. Built-in support for open protocols ensures that it can be easily integrated into any enterprise infrastructure, cloud-based service and/or internet banking engine. It also supports advanced capabilities, such as the HID Approve™ app that enables mobile-based, out-of-band transaction verification and leverages mobile device “push” notification capabilities. Additionally, the HID Risk Management Solution is a threat and fraud detection solution that can enhance the functionality of the ActivID Authentication Appliance. Based on data analytics, it protects against traditional, as well as modern, threats targeting online and mobile banking, transaction systems and sensitive applications.
