Words from Client

Leading companies rely on us for their PKI and digital signature needs

Codegic team was immensely helpful in bringing our ideas for phone-based PKI authentication and signing to reality. Codegic was absolutely up to the challenge of bringing the security and accountability of our Authenticity Infrastructure’s identity certificates to iOS and Android. They gave us secure solutions when it came to advanced digital signatures (CAdES, JSON signing) and WebCrypto. With top quality support, they are a go to shop for any serious PKI / Digital Signature development.

FAQs

Can we integrate with existing CAs?

Naturally, integrating Khatim OCSP Server with your current CAs is possible, and any customization required for the integration will be free of charge.

What is needed to run an OCSP server?

Deploying an OCSP server requires three core components:

 

– OCSP software and an efficient hardware on which to deploy
– CA configurations
– Cryptographic Hardware; Such as an HSM, ensures that the keys utilized to sign OCSP responses remain secure and protected.

How can developers integrate with OCSP servers?

Developers can use any open source API like bouncy castle which provides client side implementation for OCSP. More details can be found here.

How many OCSP server instances I need to deploy?

Deploy at least two instances initially for high availability and add more as needed to achieve the desired transaction per second (TPS) rate. Khatim OCSP Server allows for an unlimited number of instances to be deployed. Consider deploying the OCSP server in both staging and disaster recovery (DR) zones.

What it takes to be a Trusted Service Provider (TSP) for OCSP?

To become a Trusted Service Provider (TSP) for OCSP, it is necessary to comply with several ETSI and IETF standards, which include:

 

– ETSI EN 319 411-1 V1.3.1: This standard defines the policy and security requirements for Trust Service Providers issuing certificates. Part 1 of the standard outlines general requirements for electronic signatures and infrastructures.
– RFC 6960: This document specifies the technical and security requirements for TSPs providing Online Certificate Status Protocol (OCSP) services.

How can we boost the performance of Khatim OCSP Server?

There are many factor which can boost the performance. This includes:

 

– Opting for ECDSA over RSA keys (Check with your HSM vendor too)
– 2048 bit RSA keys over 4096 bit
– 384 bit ECDSA key over 521 bit
– Deploying multiple load balanced servers instead of a single instance
– Deploying OCSP server near your client region with low network latency
– Using HSM for keys storage instead of software
– Using a PCI based HSM over network/cloud based HSM
