Patent

CA 2741459

Rather than managing a certificate chain related to a newly issued identity certificate at a terminal to which a wireless device occasionally connects, a certificate server can act to determine the identity certificates in a certificate chain related to the newly issued identity certificate. The certificate server can also act to obtain the identity certificates and transmit the identity certificates towards the device that requested the newly issued identity certificate. A mail server may receive the newly issued identity certificate and the identity certificates in the certificate chain and manage the timing of the transmittal of the identity certificates. By transmitting the identity certificates in the certificate chain before transmitting the newly issued identity certificate, the mail server allows the user device to verify the authenticity of the newly issued identity certificate.

Un serveur de certificats peut agir pour déterminer les certificats didentité dans une chaîne de certificats liée au certificat didentité émis récemment, au lieu de gérer une chaîne de certificats liée à un certificat didentité émis récemment au niveau dun terminal auquel un dispositif sans fil se connecte occasionnellement. Le serveur de certificats peut également agir pour obtenir les certificats didentité et transmettre les certificats didentité au dispositif qui a demandé le certificat didentité émis récemment. Un serveur de messagerie peut recevoir le certificat didentité émis récemment et les certificats didentité de la chaîne de certificats et gérer la durée de la transmission des certificats didentité. En transmettant les certificats didentité dans la chaîne de certificats avant de transmettre le certificat didentité émis récemment, le serveur de messagerie permet au dispositif dutilisateur de vérifier lauthenticité du certificat didentité émis récemment.
