  • System and method for suspending and resuming digital certificates in a certificate-based user authentication application system
    Patent number: 6775782
    Abstract: A method and system for certificating and authenticating an identity of a customer of a financial institution using digital certificates is provided. The customer and the financial institution communicate via a communications medium. The financial institution receives a digital registration request from the customer and verifies the identity of the customer by reconciling identification data in the digital registration request with identification data in a customer data structure at the financial institution. Responsive to verifying the identity of the customer, the financial institution generates a digital certificate and sends the digital certificate to the customer. When the customer desires access to an on-line application at the financial institution, the customer sends the previously issued digital certificate to the financial institution via the communications link.
