Certificate Chain Service

The Konsentus Certificate Chain Service enables your network-level security through the provision of an easily accessible trust chain store.

When a Third Party (TPP) requests access to a bank’s Open Banking API, the bank must first establish a secure communication channel using the relevant information from the TPP’s eIDAS certificate.  Keeping this trust chain data updated is critical but time-consuming and requires continual maintenance.

Confident Network Communication

Trusted
Data

Have the confidence that Trust Chain data is always sourced directly from qualified certificate issuing authorities (QTSPs) ensuring quality and accuracy.

How it works

  • PSD2 requires that ASPSPs use Secure Communications for Open Banking

  • For a Third Party to use its certificate to establish a Mutual Transport Layer Security (mTLS) channel, the Bank must already hold the certificate’s trust chain in its trust store.

  • Having the correct trust chains in place before a Third party tries to connect allows an easy onboarding process that can be automated.

  • Not having the trust chains in place creates obstacles and delays that may cause the Third Party to complain to the National Competent Authority (NCA).

  • The Konsentus Certificate Chain Service provides regular updates of trust chain data, via an API, enabling the entire process to be streamlined and automated.
