CoreStreet Takes Validation and Authorization "To the Edge"

-- New Solutions Extend CoreStreet`s Leadership in Providing Department of
Defense with State-of-the-Art Validation Solutions --
CAMBRIDGE, Mass.--(Business Wire)--
CoreStreet, the leader in credential validation solutions, today announced the
licensing of the CoreStreet Tactical Validation Authority (TVA) software, as
well as the certification of the CoreStreet Tactical Attribute Repository
Responder (TARR) software.

The CoreStreet TVA is licensed for use across the U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM)
Area of Responsibility, as well as by the U.S. Air Force, and several
organizations within the Distributed Common Ground System (DCGS) community, to
verify the identity of Common Access Card (CAC) holders while in theater.

After successfully demonstrating it met viability and performance metrics in
both the Empire Challenge (EC09) and Joint Rapid Architecture Experimentation
(JRAE) 2009 exercises, the CoreStreet TARR has completed certification and
accreditation for both the Distributed Development & Test Environment (DDTE) and
Combined Federated Battle Laboratories (CFBL) networks, classified at US SECRET
and US SECRET REL 4EYES, respectively.

The CoreStreet TVA is a complementary extension to the CoreStreet Validation
Authority (VA), a complete solution that enables digital certificate validation
for secure, legally-binding communications, physical access and other
transactions, to validate all 3.5 million service members and contractors. The
Department of Defense (DoD) uses the CoreStreet VA to provide critical Public
Key Infrastructure (PKI) certificate validation technology behind the DoD`s
Robust Certificate Validation Services (RCVS).

The CoreStreet TVA enables full featured certificate validation for low
bandwidth, in-theater deployments by achieving a 97% data compression rate
thereby allowing for secure data transmission to the theater via satellite or
other low bandwidth communications.

"With the CoreStreet TVA, any location can attain the benefits of certificate
validation without sacrificing security, scalability or availability," said Paul
Townsend, Vice President, Defense and Intelligence Programs, CoreStreet. "When
deployed as part of the CoreStreet Validation Infrastructure, the CoreStreet TVA
enables full-featured Online Certificate Status Protocol (OCSP) validation for
any OCSP-compliant application anywhere."

The CoreStreet TARR provides similar certificate validation support for austere
environments, but with additional functionality to support Attribute-Based
Access Control (ABAC) decisions through a SAML interface. The certificate status
and attribute information obtained from the source authorities are compressed
and abstracted from their original representations so that no Personally
Identifiable Information (PII) can be derived from the signed data objects.

Availability

The CoreStreet TVA software is available for immediate delivery and
implementation, and can be procured through multiple contracting vehicles. The
CoreStreet TARR software is available in controlled release for select members
of the defense and intelligence communities. For more information please contact
your local CoreStreet representative or email your request to CoreStreet at
