Learn More » CoreStreet technology, along with CoreStreet-Enabled products and services from partners, OEMs, VARs, and integrators, brings about the convergence of physical and IT security systems. With CoreStreet, organizations can ensure that every important action is performed only by those individuals who are authorized to perform them, at that moment. Whether it's entering a secure location, logging onto a network with your smart credential, or checking your digitally signed email, CoreStreet establishes the critical trust and security in the transaction. What is validation? Two primary questions must be answered for all secure applications: "Are you who you say you are?" The process of answering this question is known as authentication. "You have proved to me who you are, but are you supposed to be doing what you're trying to do, right now?" The process of answering this question is known as validation. CoreStreet technology offers both infrastructure and application solutions for credential validation in IT and physical security environments. There are many situations in which a person’s credential, such as a smart card, may be legitimate, yet the person’s privileges may have changed, for example, if an employee is terminated but does not return her smart card, her card is authentic (she is who her card says she is and the card is real), but she should no longer be allowed into her old office building, or onto corporate networks. In the past, preventing this type of intrusion has proven difficult and expensive, given the minimal overlap between physical and IT infrastructures. Today, CoreStreet is making single-credential security possible by creating a common link between the two systems. Public Key Infrastructure CoreStreet’s certificate validation technology is currently deployed by the US Department of Defense and other security conscious organizations, public and private, around the globe. The technology is designed to validate the credentials of individuals as they interact with their secure IT applications, including digitally signed email and secure forms. In doing so, users and administrators can have the highest level of trust in their secure communications and transactions. Based on the work of Dr. Silvio Micali, a world-renowned cryptographer and MIT professor, CoreStreet PKI technology, enables credential validation quickly in both online and offline environments. Examples of credential types include smart cards, ePassports, and drivers licenses. Learn more about CoreStreet’s Public Key Infrastructure solutions.
