METHOD FOR ASSIGNING AN AUTHENTICATION CERTIFICATE AND INFRASTRUCTURE FOR ASSIGNING SAID CERTIFICATE

摘要

The inventive method consists in pre-recording the identity of a requesting person by a third-party entity in order to enable a registration authority to obtain certified information on a requestor identity. For this purpose, when a requestor (40) requires (304) a certificate from a recording server (20), said recording server (20) verifies information on the requestor identity received from a pre-informed identity server (30). The requestor (40) needs to be recorded only once by the identity management authorities in such a way that the identity thereof is reproducible by a plurality of recording servers. The registration authority also is not obliged to systematically verify the identity information which is once verified by the identity management authority.
