Trust development

Is TrustedX a multi-CA, multi-VA and multi-TSA system?

TrustedX is currently the most modern and sophisticated trust manager based on PKI digital certificates. Its powerful use of certificate validation policies enables the configuration of any model of trust based on Certification Authorities (CAs), Validation Authorities (VAs), Time Stamping Authorities (TSAs) and Assertion Authorities (IdPs).

With multi-CA support, TrustedX can be configured to trust any number of CAs and VAs, following any structure, whether hierarchical or crossed. It supports standard validation mechanisms based on CRL, OCSP and customised mechanisms (for example, a consultation to an information service) and establishes different trust levels for each of the different CAs, VAs or TSAs. It also supports the development of trust through the federation of identity providers (IdPs).
