Abstract: Systems and methods for applying a digitally signed QR code to a vehicle are provided. In one implementation, a method includes the step of receiving, from a requesting entity, a Certificate Signing Request (CSR) and object-related information associated with an object. The method further includes the step of issuing a digital certificate to authenticate the object and/or the requesting entity. Also, the method includes the step of digitally signing a machine-detectable code configured to reference a database associated with the digital certificate and the object-related information. The method also includes the step of sending the digitally signed machine-detectable code to the requesting entity.

Abstract: Systems and methods for determining digital trust of a device and a user for access permission include monitoring a client device and its access to a network and to resources connected to the network; analyzing behavior-based factors and posture-based factors to determine a digital trust rating at a given time for the client device, wherein the posture-based factors include a rating of certificates associated with the client device and a rating of a Domain Name System (DNS) server associated with the client device; and providing the digital trust rating at the given time for the client device for use in access permission of the client device to the network and/or to the resources.

Abstract: The disclosed computer-implemented method for discovering website certificate information may include (1) receiving, from a plurality of computing devices within a community of users, information that identifies the certificate statuses of websites visited by the computing devices, (2) identifying, by analyzing the information, at least one issue with the certificate status of at least one website visited by at least one of the computing devices, and (3) performing at least one remedial action in an attempt to correct the issue with the certificate status of the website. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.

Abstract: Methods and apparatuses for authenticating a secure sockets layer certificate (SSL) certificate are described herein. The methods include receiving the SSL certificate associated with a website, identifying a chain of trust associated with the SSL certificate, transmitting, to a security manager, a validation request based on the SSL certificate and a certificate in the chain of trust, receiving a validation response from the security manager, and presenting an indication of trustworthiness, to a user, based on the validation response. The apparatuses are provided to implement the methods.
