Electronic certificate issue system and method

摘要

A registration part receives a product key of a program for performing a communication using a private key and a public key, and discrimination information of a computer using the program. The registration part registers in a management part, when an authentication of a license corresponding to the product key is completed in success, correspondence information between the product key and the discrimination information and other discrimination information regarding the correspondence information. A discrimination information sending part returns the other discrimination information to an electronic certificate issue apparatus. A checking part receives the other discrimination information and check whether the other discrimination information is registered in the management part. A certificate producing part produces, when the other discrimination information is registered in the management part, an individual certificate package containing the private key and the public key for each piece of the other discrimination information.

主权项

1. An electronic certificate issue system comprising:
a license authentication apparatus including
a first computer processor, wherein the first computer processor executes a first program to implement:
a registration part that receives a license key of an issued license of a second program for performing a communication using a private key and a public key, and identification information of a computer to use the second program, wherein the license key is unique to the issued license and issued by an issuer of the issued license, and the registration part produces a serial number unique to the license key and the identification information of the computer, and registers the license key, the identification information of the computer, and the serial number in a management part by associating the serial number with the license key and the identification information of the computer, when an authentication of the issued license corresponding to the license key is successfully completed; anda serial number sending part that transmits the produced serial number; an electronic certificate issue apparatus including
a second computer processor, wherein the second computer processor executes the first program to implement:
a checking part that receives the serial number and checks whether the serial number is registered in the management part; anda certificate producing part that produces, when the serial number is registered in the management part, an individual certificate package containing the private key and the public key which is unique to the serial number; and an apparatus including
a third computer processor, wherein the third computer processor executes the first program to implement
a certificate request part that produces an individual discrimination ID by performing a reversible conversion on the serial number and a model ID given to the second program, and sends the produced individual discrimination ID, wherein the checking part receives the serial number by extracting the serial number from the individual discrimination ID.
