摘要

System and method for generation of a signature certificate in a Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) that includes sending a new user a first piece of information required for generation of a signature certificate for the new user. A personal registration authority is sent a second piece of information required for generation of a signature certificate for the new user. The second piece of information is delivered to the new user by the personal registration authority in a face-to-face meeting. The first piece of information and the second piece of information are provided to a registration authority by the new user. A key pair is generated for the new user that includes a public key and a private key. The public key is provided to a certification authority. A signature certificate is generated for the new user by the certification authority. The certification authority digitally signs the signature certificate. The digitally signed signature certificate is then stored in a database.
