The products listed herein have demonstrated Path Discovery and Validation capability using the PKITS and the Path Discovery Test Suite.

These products are therefore approved by the Federal PKI Policy Authority for use by Federal agencies in implementing PD-VAL in a Bridge-enabled environment.

There are four categories that include products, tool kits, applications, and services that provide government agencies with options to implement PD-VAL in various ways. Tool kits may be used to enable the development of custom applications that require PD-VAL capabilities. Applications are COTS products that natively include PD-VAL capabilities. Products are considered as plug-ins that add or supplement PD-VAL capabilities to applications. The hosting of a qualified validation server in an accredited facility that can provide PD-VAL capabilities to clients is defined as services.
