Certificate Validation Service
"eGov-Bus is funded by the European Community under the Information Society Technologies priority of the Sixth Framework Programme"
Motivation
The certificate validation module, in the following also referred to as certificate service or CVS service, provides a means to validate X.509 certificates. In general certificate validation is an important step during the signature validation and is also part of the signature creation and validation service. However validation of certificates may be needed by other services too (e.g. the encryption service to check whether encryption certificate provided is valid or hasn’t been revoked).
Description
Based on these varied applications the certificate validation service was extracted from the signature creation and validation service and a new SOAP interface was specified. Via this interface other service may access the CVS service.
Remark: The signature creation and validation service is still using the internal interfaces of the certificate validation.
