  • Patent number: 11621948
    Abstract: A computer system detects that a digital certificate is set to expire within a threshold amount of time. In response to detecting that the digital certificate is set to expire, the computer system generates an update to cause a second computer system to perform operations to indicate an upcoming expiration of the digital certificate. The computer system provides the update to the second computer system to cause the second computer system to perform the operations.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 10652030
    Abstract: A method and system for generating multiple profiles corresponding to different digital certificates. The profile includes intrinsic attributes and derived attributes associated with a digital certificate. The system enables a customer system to filter digital certificates based on a suitability of the various digital certificates for use with a given application to be executed by or on behalf of the customer system. The suitability may be determined based on a comparison of certificate requirements associated with a customer system's request and one or more of the intrinsic attributes and derived attributes.

  • Patent number: 10615987
    Abstract: A computer system associated with a certificate authority receives a request to obtain information that can be used to determine a validity status of a digital certificate. In response to the request, the computer system provides the information and updates usage information for the digital certificate to incorporate information obtained from the request. The usage information may be generated based at least in part on previous requests to obtain the information. Based at least in part on the usage information, the computer system will perform at least one operation associated with the digital certificate.

  • Patent number: 10516542
    Abstract: A certificate authority receives a request to issue a digital certificate from a customer. In response to the request, the certificate authority determines a network endpoint to be specific to the digital certificate that is to serve information usable to determine whether the digital certificate is valid. The certificate authority issues, to the customer, a digital certificate that specifies a network address for the network endpoint and records information about requests made to the network endpoint to obtain the information usable to determine whether the digital certificate is valid.
