Embodiment Construction

[0026] As detailed below, instead of a PKI system in which organizations provide different services to different organizations, a PKI management system can provide different services to different federations and their participating organizations. A separate item may for example be one or more products that provide identity data (such as digital certificates) and possibly other security data to be loaded. Each project may involve multiple organizations. In this way the problems with the above-mentioned PKI systems that arise when multiple organizations are involved in common projects can be improved. As used herein, an organization refers to any entity composed of any number of individuals, regardless of legal structure or state. Non-exhaustive examples of such organizations include corporations and businesses, whether public or private, and not-for-profit and for-profit, government agencies or agencies, and any other group of individuals or even organizations.

Abstract

A method and apparatus is provided for establishing a process for provisioning a digital certificate service delivered by a PKI system. The method includes receiving a request for a digital certificate service and receiving data specifying a project that includes at least one product to be provisioned with a digital certificate. Data specifying an identification of an owner organization of the project and at least one participant organization participating in the project is also received. Attributes with which PKI data to be included in the digital certificates is to comply is received from the owner organization. Based on the received data and attributes, an account is established for each of the organizations associated with the project through which users associated with each of the organizations can respectively request digital certificates for the at least one product in accordance with the attributes received from the owner organization.

Description

[0001] Statement of relevant application [0002] This application claims the benefit of US Provisional Patent Application Serial No. 61 / 233,380, filed August 12, 2009, which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety. Background technique [0003] Public key cryptography is a method of using key pairs to enable secure communications. Each key pair includes a public key and a private key. Public and private keys are related such that, for example, a message encrypted by one key can only be decrypted by the other, but it is not feasible to deduce the private key computationally given the public key. Key pairs can be used to perform other functions besides message encryption. Private keys are usually created and held securely by an entity; the corresponding public keys are usually made widely available. Thus, secure communication between parties can be achieved by using the parties' public and secret keys. [0004] The use of public key cryptography solves many secu...
