Exostar’s Enterprise Identity Solution (EIS) is a comprehensive software solution for implementing a standardized public key infrastructure (PKI) environment for the issuance and maintenance of digital certificates.  EIS offers full lifecycle management of certificates in order to minimize risk and help assure resources and intellectual assets are protected over the extended enterprise.  At the same time, EIS leverages enterprise infrastructure investments by directly integrating into leading IT identity directories, allowing all credential-related processes to be automated within a single PKI architecture.

The standard implementation of EIS is operationally modeled after CertiPath policies for medium hardware, medium software level of assurance (MLOA).  CertiPath is the PKI cross-certification Bridge for the aerospace and defense (A&D) industry.  CertiPath-compliance ensures certificates can be cross-certified with the U.S. Federal Bridge Certificate Authority, as well as other major A&D companies that have also obtained CertiPath Certification.  Standard implementation of EIS helps companies gain PKI certificate interoperability across a growing community of governments and leading prime contractors.
