| 20110078198 | AUTOMATIC SERIAL NUMBER AND REQUEST ID ALLOCATION IN A REPLICATED (CLONED) CERTIFICATE AUTHORITY AND DATA RECOVERY MANAGEMENT TOPOLOGY - A Serial Number Management System (SNMS) automatically manages the allocation of unique serial numbers to certificate authority servers in a replicated server environment. The SNMS automatically detects that a Certificate Authority (CA) server has a need for a new set of unused serial numbers. The SNMS obtains a global serial number that is available to be used by any of the CA servers in a replication domain. The SNMS determines the new set of the unused serial numbers using the global serial number and updates the global serial number. | 03-31-2011 |
| 20110078304 | Automatic Server Administration of Serial Numbers in a Replicated Certificate Authority Topology - A Serial Number Management System (SNMS) automatically manages the allocation of unique serial numbers to certificate authority servers in a replicated server environment. The SNMS automatically detects that a Certificate Authority (CA) server has a need for additional unused serial numbers. The SNMS identifies a provider CA server that has unused serial numbers. The SNMS obtains a portion of the unused serial numbers from the provider CA server. | 03-31-2011 |
| 20110078772 | LDAP SECURITY DOMAIN DATA STORAGE - A Security Domain Access System (SDAS) provides highly available security domain data. The SDAS receives a request pertaining to a security domain. The request includes credentials for accessing a security domain manager server. The SDAS selects one of a plurality of security domain manager servers to process the request based on the credentials and the availability of each of the plurality of security domain manager servers. The SDAS forwards the request to the selected security domain manager server. | 03-31-2011 |
| 20110113239 | RENEWAL OF EXPIRED CERTIFICATES - A method and system for renewal of expired certificates is described. In one embodiment, a method, implemented by a computing system programmed to perform operations, includes receiving, at a certificate manager of a computing system from a requester, a certificate renewal request for an original digital certificate that has already expired, and renewing the expired certificate as a renewed certificate by the certificate manager when the certificate renewal request is approved. The renewed certificate comprises the same key pair as the original certificate, but includes a new expiration date, and wherein the renewed certificate is functionally identical to the original certificate. | 05-12-2011 |
| 20110113240 | CERTIFICATE RENEWAL USING ENROLLMENT PROFILE FRAMEWORK - A method and system for renewing digital certificates using an enrollment profile framework is described. | 05-12-2011 |
| 20110167256 | ROLE-BASED ACCESS CONTROL UTILIZING TOKEN PROFILES - A method and system for managing role-based access control of token data using token profiles is described. | 07-07-2011 |
| 20110167483 | ROLE-BASED ACCESS CONTROL UTILIZING TOKEN PROFILES HAVING PREDEFINED ROLES - A method and system for managing role-based access control of token data using token profiles having predefined roles is described. | 07-07-2011 |
| 20110293098 | KEY RECOVERY MECHANISM - A method and system for key recovery for a private key of a digital certificate for a client. | 12-01-2011 |
| 20110296171 | KEY RECOVERY MECHANISM - A method and system for server-side key generation for non-token clients is described. | 12-01-2011 |
