  • Method to automate the renewal of digital certificates
    Patent number: 7653810
    Abstract: The disclosure relates to the management of PKI digital certificates, including certificate discovery, installation, verification and replacement for endpoints over an insecure network. A database of certificates may be maintained through discovery, replacement and other activities. Certificate discovery identifies certificates and associated information including network locations, methods of access, applications of use and non-use, and may produce logs and reports. Automated requests to certificate authorities for new certificates, renewals or certificate signing requests may precede the installation of issued certificates to servers using installation scripts directed to a particular application or product, which may provide notification or require approval or intervention. An administrator may be notified of expiring certificates, using a database or scanning or server agents.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: August 13, 2004
    Date of Patent: January 26, 2010
    Assignee: Venafi, Inc.
    Inventors: Russell S. Thornton, Benjamin Hodson, Jayson Seegmiller, Timothy Hollobon
