  • Publication number: 20210314313
    Abstract: The present invention provides a certificate issuing system based on a block chain, the system having a means for directly generating a certificate-specific public key and a certificate-specific private key in a user terminal operated by a user, guiding the certificate-specific public key and the certificate-specific private key so as to be generated in a state in which a network in the user terminal is blocked, and eliminating the costs incurred for constructing, operating, and maintaining the certificate issuing system having a high-grade security system linked therewith so as to block hacking, which occurred in the past, as much as possible, since the certificate-specific public key requiring maintenance is stored and managed in an electronic wallet, installed in servers that hold block chains, through a peer-to-peer network (P2P)-based distributed database, not by a server run by a certificate authority (CA).
