摘要

Method of auto-registration and automated issue of digital certificates, with the following phases of operation: i) the access of a user, provided with hardware means and corresponding dedicated software and a SIM card, to a server of the certificate request service; ii) the sending by the server of the user of a HTML code which will trigger the execution of a plug-in dedicated to activating the identification procedures at the I-VLR by means of the GSM authenticated access library; iii) GSM authentication; iv) use of a one-time password, produced by the combination of parameters obtained from the preceding GSM authenticated access operation with the user identifiers; v) verification of the resulting secret information content by the server, by means of access to the I-VLR; verification of the user's authorization to request the certificate; in the subsequent certificate issue process, the procedures of enabling the PKI for the issue of the certified in the Web and/or Enterprise environment, on a generic token, or on the SIM card itself, are activated at the server end.
