Patent number: 11165591Abstract: Disclosed is a dynamic-PKI social Certificate Authority (CA) system and method. The present system and method generates and issues certificates at deployment time instead of manufacture time. In an embodiment, the system and method utilizes an interface to initiate a Certificate Signing Request (CSR) and 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 cert. The signed cert is then directly or indirectly provided to the device for provisioning into the network.Type: GrantFiled: September 8, 2017Date of Patent: November 2, 2021Assignee: Cable Television Laboratories, Inc.Inventor: Darshak Thakore
