Abstract: Systems and methods for authenticating public key infrastructure certificate enrollment using certificate entitlement licenses. One example system includes a device manager including an electronic processor. The electronic processor is configured to receive a request for software for an electronic device including a unique electronic device identifier. The electronic processor is configured to determine, based on the request, whether the electronic device is entitled to participate in a certificate management service. The electronic processor is configured to, responsive to determining that the electronic device is entitled to participate in a certificate management service, transmit a certificate entitlement license request including the unique device identifier to a certificate entitlement license manager. The electronic processor is configured to receive, from the certificate entitlement license manager, a certificate entitlement license for the unique device identifier.

Abstract: A method and system for enhancing authenticity detail of captured video is disclosed. Objects within a physical environment (and visible within a camera field of view) are captured in video, and by way of video analytics these objects and their respective metadata are employed as part of the method and system for enhancing the authenticity detail of the captured video. Also, rather than the audio/video stream(s) being modified, the actual video scene itself may be modified.

Abstract: A process of issuing a limited-use electronic certificate. In operation, a public key infrastructure (PKI) device receives a request for an electronic certificate from an end entity. The PKI device detects an anomaly with respect to the request received from the end entity. The PKI device generates, based on the detected anomaly, a limited-use electronic certificate. The PKI then issues the limited-use electronic certificate to the end entity. When the end entity determines that the issued certificate is a limited-use certificate with limited-use attributes such as a shortened validity period or lowered assurance level, the end entity provides a visual and/or audio prompt indicating the issuance of the limited-use certificate and further including one or more corrective actions to be performed to eliminate the anomaly prior to sending a new request for an electronic certificate to the PKI device.

Abstract: A mobile device and method are provided that allow for registering the mobile device using a machine readable optical label. The mobile device receives a machine readable optical label, such as a QR code or a bar code. The machine readable optical label includes authentication data and security information. The mobile device scans machine readable optical label to read the authentication data and the security information. The mobile device validates the machine readable optical label and generates certificate request, the certificate request digitally signed using the authentication data and the security information. The mobile device transmits the certificate signing request to a registration authority.

Abstract: A method and apparatus is provided for updating certificates in a trust chain and managing versions of the trust chain. A first electronic processor determines that a first certificate in a first level of the trust chain is to be updated, updating the first certificate and each certificate in a lower level in the trust chain that is lower than the first level, creates a second version of the trust chain including an updated first certificate and an updated certificate at each lower level in the trust chain, and transmits the second version of the trust chain to one or more entities.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for a video-camera equipped UAV to continue a zoom of the stationary video camera is provided herein. More particularly, a camera mounted on an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) is used to extend a field of view (FOV) of a fixed camera in a way that it is seamless for a user who is looking at the video stream and utilizes a joystick to manipulate the camera settings.

Abstract: A certificate management processor (CMP) in a public key infrastructure (PKI) receives a request for a certificate management operation. The CMP determines that the request is associated with at least one of an end entity and a service. The CMP identifies a certificate management identifier associated with at least one of the end entity and the service. The CMP retrieves at least one status associated with the certificate management identifier and/or at least one status associated with the certificate management operation. The CMP performs the certificate management operation on a certificate when the retrieved at least one status is determined to not be suspended.

Abstract: A Public Key Infrastructure (PM) device receives a certificate signing request (CSR) from an end entity. The PKI device obtains at least one of: a controlling attribute of at least one PKI device associated with processing of the certificate signing request and a controlling attribute associated with the CSR. The PKI device obtains an end entity policy object (EEPO) to be associated with the end entity based on at least one obtained controlling attribute. Based on the obtained EEPO, the PKI device determines at least one attribute and at least one value associated with the attribute this is to be included in a certificate and issues, to the end entity, the certificate including the at least one attribute.
