  • Publication number: 20240106817
    Abstract: The present invention provides for implementing an internal entity intermediate certificate authority via a mutual transport layer security conversation to allow an entity-specific certificate authority to generate its own certificate which is transmitted to a second point in the internal transmission for sending of the external certificate authority generated certificate to the external entity for mutual authentication. Further, in this way, the first point of internal transmission does not have to store the certificate in its own hardware security module.

  • Publication number: 20240106661
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide a system for securely electronically transmitting cryptographic certificates in high data transmission volume. The system is configured for initiating setup of an external secure hardware device, storing one or more digital keys and one or more cryptographic certificates associated with the digital keys on the external secure hardware device, determining initialization of an entity application, storing copies of at least the one or more cryptographic certificates in a cache memory of the entity application, generating a request for transmitting to a third party entity, extracting a cryptographic certificate from the cache memory associated with the third party entity, and transmitting the request and the cryptographic certificate to the third party entity.

  • Patent number: 9106630
    Abstract: A system and method for gathering data from a plurality of computer environments. The computer environments are authenticated, data is copied from the plurality of authenticated computer environments to a memory location, and access to the memory location is provided to a plurality of authenticated users. The data may be marked so that a user may determine which computer environment provided the data.

  • Patent number: 8793278
    Abstract: A system and method for searching for computer environments, authenticating the computer environments, and copying data from the authenticated computer environments to a memory location. The data is marked or bound to the computer system it was copied from which provides a user with assurance that the data was obtained from a specific, authenticated source. The computer environments and the memory location may be coupled over a network.
