  • Patent number: 11722320
    Abstract: A method, system and apparatus for authenticating target recipients for digital certificates. A certificate authority authentication system receives a request from an entity for a digital certificate including untrusted certificate validation data. The authentication system initiates a communication link using to untrusted certificate validation data to generate verified untrusted certificate validation data. Subsequently or concurrently, the system obtains, from a confirmation computing system, trusted certificate validation data. The authentication system compares the verified untrusted certificate validation data with the trusted certificate validation data and, based on the comparison, authenticates the entity and issues the requested digital certificate.

  • Patent number: 9208350
    Abstract: The invention discloses a system and apparatus for detecting problematic certificate action requests and digital certificates. Ideally, the invention will be used to detect a certificate request that will result in security problems and detect issued certificates that lack essential information. The invention uses a proxy system that intercepts certificate requests and transmitted certificates. The proxy system runs a series of checks on the intercepted request and/or certificate. The checks vary depending on the certificate contents, requester, and system providing the request or certificate.
