20090240936 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR STORING CLIENT-SIDE CERTIFICATE CREDENTIALS - A method and system is provided for storing a plurality of client certificate credentials via a client web browser into one or more keystore file(s). The client web browser is used to establish the secure data transfer link between the client and the server. The client web browser includes a plug-in software component. The plug-in software component is configured to generate the keystore file and a key pair. The method may continue with generating a certificate request on the client. The certificate request generated is then transmitted to a certificate server. The certificate server is configured to digitally sign the certificate request generated. The method continues with the client receiving a signed certificate request. The signed certificate request is received by the client via the client web browser. The method may conclude by storing the plurality of client certificate credentials associated with the signed certificate request in one or more keystore file(s). | 09-24-2009 |
20090307486 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR SECURED NETWORK ACCESS UTILIZING A CLIENT .NET SOFTWARE COMPONENT - A method for self-service authentication of a client and a server. The method includes the server receiving an initialization command from the client. The initialization command may be transmitted to the server via a client web browser over an unsecured data transfer link. The method continues with requesting authentication information from the client. In response to receiving the authentication information from the client, the server transmits a client software component to the client. The client software component utilizes a client-side library installed on the operating system of the client to generate the various client credentials described above. Thereafter, the certificate signing request may be transmitted to a certificate server for signing the certificate signing request. The signed certificate signing request is then received by the client via the client web browser. The client utilizes the information associated with the signed certificate signing request with the client-side library installed on the client to generate a client certificate. | 12-10-2009 |
20100138907 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR GENERATING DIGITAL CERTIFICATES AND CERTIFICATE SIGNING REQUESTS - A certificate server is provided for issuing digital certificates to be used by a network resource and/or a client resource. The certificate server is configured to communicate with the network resource or the client resource to receive a certificate request. Upon receiving the certificate request, the certificate server may automate the process for authenticating the certificate request, validating the terms of the certificate request and digitally signing the certificate request. An authentication appliance may communicate with or be integrated within the certificate server. The certificate server includes a web service server, a certificate authority component, and a database that enable communication with either the network resource, client resource, or the authentication appliance to automate the administration process typically involved in receiving and signing a certificate request. The certificate authority component may sign the certificate request with a trusted root chain associated with the network resource. | 06-03-2010 |
20100217975 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR SECURE ONLINE TRANSACTIONS WITH MESSAGE-LEVEL VALIDATION - A method and system for authenticating a client and a server is disclosed. In one contemplated embodiment, the client has a client certificate and the server have a server certificate. The client is validated to an authentication module based upon a certificate request identifier generated thereby, a secure data link certificate, and an authentication module Uniform Resource Locator. The authentication module is validated to the client based upon the client certificate and the certificate request identifier. A password associated with a user identifier that is encrypted with a private client key and signed with a public server key is transmitted to the authentication module. The password is then validated. | 08-26-2010 |
20130067219 | CONFIGURING A VALID DURATION PERIOD FOR A DIGITAL CERTIFICATE - A valid duration period for a digital certificate is established by a process that includes assigning numeric values to certificate term. The numeric value assigned to each certificate term is representative of the valid duration period. The method continues by identifying one certificate term, which may include requesting a user to select a certificate term. The method may include transmitting the requested certificate term to a server. The certificate term requested is sent via a certificate request. The server is configured to convert the numeric value associated with the requested certificate term into a duration counter value. The method may also include a certificate server receiving from the server, the certificate request including the duration counter value. The method may conclude with transmitting the signed certificate request to a client device capable of generating the digital certificate with the requested certificate term | 03-14-2013 |
