Product Architecture

It is important to understand the relationship of the application to the Toolkit and other components. This will help you to better understand the tasks of your application and the functions that help perform them.

Your application can use the Toolkit to communicate with the VA or can communicate with it directly.

The Toolkit supports several third-party crypto libraries. The Toolkit crypto layer combined with a third-party crypto library is treated as a single lower level component of the Toolkit architecture. Each single-lower component interchangeable to meet the needs of your environment. For information about integrating a crypto library into the Toolkit architecture, see Integrating Crypto Libraries.

Figure 1 shows the relationship of your application to a VA, CA, ValiCert VA Publisher, ValiCert Validator Toolkit, and third-party crypto libraries.
