One of the most important components in e-conimerce systems is the validation of digital signatures, which implies the validation of certificates in order to check the validity status of the certificates used to create a signature. Nowadays, several mechanisms to accomplish this process exist, but there is no agreement with which particular mechanism should be ued in each scenario. On the other hand, infrastructures based on web services are widely spread due to their several advantages, so it is necessary to adapt the existing services to the new frameworks. There already exists a proposal for a digital signature web service, but there is not any for certificate validation. In this paper we propose a validation service which considers the existing validation certificate mechanisms, that is, it is not restricted to use only a particular protocol, with the aim of satisfying different domains in a homogeneous way, keeping the validation process under client control.
