Having been the first vendor globally to achieve Common Criteria EAL4+ EN 419 241-2 certification in 2019, Ascertia is delighted to announce that the latest version of the ADSS Server SAM Appliance - version 7 - has been successfully certified.
Common Criteria EAL4_ EN 419 241-2 update:
This update enables many great new features and functionality including:
- The ability to work with the EN 419221-5 Common Criteria EAL4+ certified HSMs from Entrust, Thales and Utimaco, providing the ultimate choice for our expanding TSP customers.
- New IDP/IAM key authentication/authorisation interfaces including SAML and OpenID Connect to strictly control all aspects of key generation and usage, allowing flexibility when implementing a remote signing solution.
- Enhanced support for eSeals where keys can be loaded into the HSM until the Signature Activation Data (SAD) provided by the owner expires or until the signature count configured in the SAM profile is reached, adding to remote eSealing performance and supporting other use cases.
- In addition to supporting eSeals authorised using Sole Control Assurance Level 2 (SCAL 2), there is now support for producing signatures and eSeals using Sole Control Assurance Level 1, which means that service providers can offer remote signing services at different assurance levels to meet different business needs.
- Setting of maximum number of devices a user can use to authorise remote signing operations, adding to security requirements and usage.
