Architecture
Sytrust CertControl completely adheres to the
internet standard „X.509 Internet Public Key Infrastructure Online
Certificate Status Protocol (RFC 2560)” and adds some proprietary
additions.
CertControl
is mainly a plug-in for the Apache Webserver (see http://www.apache.org).
Apache brings a stable and well tested network code for nearly every
OS. Therefore it is the best platform for implementing „OCSP over
HTTP“, the one and only way OCSP can be used today (according to
RFC 2560). CertControl can be used on a wide variety of platforms.
Main target OS are Windows NT, Solaris and Linux, development
platform is Linux.
Using
the module interface of Apache CertControl features built in
SSL-Support (mod_ssl using OpenSSL), built in Load-Balancing (mod_backhand)
and will offer you a lot more in the future. Even the support for
Cryptography hardware to speed up the throughput can be done easily,
as most Crypto boards already bring in support for Apache.
