Certification Revocation and Validation Service (CertiVeR)

CertiVeR has its origin in the fact that the deployment of the use of electronic signatures in e-commerce and in any transaction that has important value associated with, requires the verification of the signature policy, which includes the validation of all the certificates in the signer’s certification path. In most of the cases, this verification may be done on the basis of Certificate Revocation Lists (CRL).

The aim of this project is to offer this certificate revocation service, with the corresponding OCSP publication, as outsource to any interested CA in the world, but mainly in Europe, where the e-Signature Directive requires the provision of this service to guarantee the advanced signatures.

The pilot has been launched to cover all the mentioned services to the partners of the project, which covers mainly users from the financial and manufacturing sectors interested in the international B2B.
