In the coming months, CoreStreet, a leader in providing massively scalable validation products for identity management and access control, will roll out a series of server validation extensions for the most popular application servers on the market.
"Web applications need secure validation but until now, OCSP was unavailable to developers working with WebLogic servers," said , president of CoreStreet.
