Certificate servers validate, or certify, keys as part of a Public key infrastructure. Keys are strings of text generated from a series of encryption algorithms that allow you to secure communication for a group of users. Many Web servers, such as Microsoft's Internet Information Services or Apache's mod_ssl create keys that after having been validated, can be applied to other servers such as News servers or Web servers. The purpose of this process is to create a way for people to communicate and be reasonably sure that others are not eavesdropping or assuming a false identity.
Disclosed is a method of operating a certification server of a public key certificatesystem. The method includes receiving a request for issuance of a public key certificate from a terminal, determining a terminal encryption scheme and a certification encryption scheme that are suitable for a public key certificatesystem, the terminal encryption scheme and the certification encryption scheme being encryption schemes allowed in the public key certificatesystem, generating a public key of the terminal according to the terminal encryption scheme, generating a public key certificate for verifying the validity of the public key of the terminal according to the certification encryption scheme, and transmitting the public key certificate to the terminal.
