Patent

CA 2760934

There are disclosed systems and methods for creating a self-signed implicit certificate. In one embodiment, the self-signed implicit certificate is generated and operated upon using transformations of a nature similar to the transformations used in the ECQV protocol. In such a system, a root CA or other computing device avoids having to generate an explicit self-signed certificate by instead generating a self-signed implicit certificate.

L'invention concerne des systèmes et procédés destinés à créer un certificat implicite auto-signé. Dans un mode de réalisation, le certificat implicite auto-signé est généré et exploité suite à l'utilisation de transformations de nature similaire aux transformations utilisées dans le protocole ECQV. Un tel système évite à une autorité de certification racine (root Certificate Authority, root CA) ou un autre dispositif informatique d'avoir à générer un certificat explicite auto-signé en générant à sa place un certificat implicite auto-signé.
