Abstract: Network communication systems and methods implementing micro network subsystems for securely delivering personal electronic information across wired and/or wireless media are disclosed. Software-defined networking (SDN) is used to segment a provider network into a plurality of personal micro networks each established for an object that is cryptographically bound to or cryptographically associated with a living being. When multiple providers implementing different workflows and binding different objects to the same person are connected to the communication system, an interoperable network database stores the information and compiles, searches, and distributes the information to/from multiple providers.

Abstract: Dynamic-PKI social Certificate Authority (CA) systems and methods are provided, which generate and issue certificates at time of device deployment instead of time of manufacture. The provided systems and methods utilize an interface to initiate a Certificate Signing Request (CSR), and which then generates and signs the CSR with a public key. The signed CSR is then securely transmitted to a Certificate Signing Request Processor (CSRP), which undergoes an optional verification process and is then processed to return a signed certificate. The signed certificate is then directly or indirectly provided to the device for provisioning into the network.
