PKI Security and Enablement
Bring Value to Both Sides of the Security-Performance Equation
Over the past decade, Public Key Infrastructures (PKIs) have increasingly become more commonplace within many government and commercial enterprises, and for good reason. PKI security uses x.509 certification and revocation of authenticated digital certificates, making it a stronger, more enforceable solution than traditional username/password models. Many large-scale web applications, however, struggle to find PKI solutions that provide secure access without negatively impacting system performance and user availability.
Partnet's PKI solutions are specifically designed to accommodate the high-performance requirements of large-scale systems. Unlike traditional COTS products, Partnet offers a flexible, server-side solution that mounts easily within clustered, load-balanced architectures. Combining internal Certificate Revocation List (CRL) caching with real-time Online Certificate Status Protocol (OCSP) responses, Partnet offers a blended approach that provides optimized performance and networking without compromising the security of the PKI-enabled framework.
Partnet's PKI solutions are highly configurable to meet the system demands of any operating environment, and can be easily scaled using JITC-approved client-side plugins.
