Abstract: Embodiments relate to systems for generating identity records (e.g., authentication certificates) at a server for validating broadcast messages. The server may receive a request to generate an identity record, where the request may include a public key of a named entity device that is configured to broadcast messages. The server may generate the identity record using the private key of the server and transmit the generated certificate to a namespace server for storage. A policy consuming device configured to receive a broadcast message, which may be signed using the private key of the named entity device, subsequently accesses the namespace server for the identity record including the public key of the named entity device. The policy consuming device validates the authentication certificate using the server's public key and validates the broadcast message using the named entity device's public key.
