CertiPath: Enabling Trusted Communication

CertiPath is the world's first commercial PKI bridge. 

Our mission is simple: 

"To enable companies to use their internal digital credentials outside of their enterprise, enabling business to happen in a trusted manner throughout the world."

Currently, there is no effective way to correlate actual identity with electronic identity in the B2B and B2G space. To utilize the full potential of electronic infrastructures, people must be free to collaborate and exchange information in a trusted manner across varied organizations.  By creating a PKI bridge which cross-certifies entities to a common standard, CertiPath helps to provide a trusted means to authenticate individual digital identities.

We are helping to enable the transfer of secured and authenticated information globally between subscribing companies; and between such companies, their partners and a number of domestic and foreign government agencies.

Note that the credentials of subscribing companies can easily be trusted by non-subscribing companies/governments, but you must be a customer of ours to have your credentials trusted by others. 

CertiPath's Cross-Certification Service

CertiPath’s main operation is to provide a cross-certified Bridge Service in which our customers are cross-certified directly to CertiPath, and, CertiPath is directly cross-certified with the US Federal Bridge (FBCA). This allows our customers to have their employees trusted by US government applications (please contact your US government representative for which applications and websites are accepting this), as well as having their trading partners accept their employees digital credentials as well.

This service includes a Root Certificate Authority that issues cross certificates for Client Certificate Authorities that meet CertiPath policies for cross certification.  The Bridge operates a directory that acts as a repository for all current active cross certificates and a list of revoked certificates.

CertiPath Takes Over Responsibility For Supporting the TSCP

CertiPath has been contracted by the Transglobal Secure Collaboration Program (TSCP) members to assume management of key activities, which support the evolution of the TSCP in becoming a formally-defined part of the global solution to provide secure collaborative capability specifications and standards.
