Automated electronic messaging encryption system

This invention is directed to a distributed database system for storing and publishing public and private keys of an encryption system. Through the use of a distributed database network, keys can be stored, associated with member's accounts, published, retrieved and utilized automatically without the necessity of the individual member managing the public or private keys. The distributed eliminates the necessity of the public or private keys from being located at a single location allowed the flexibility for a multitude of user to manage public and private keys.

Encryption management system and method

A system and method of verifying whether a certificate has been revoked by providing a DNS responder containing a certificate revocation list (CRL), parsing the CRL into DNS zones, and distributing this information to the respective primary DNS responders based upon DNS zones. Information about a specific certificate is gathered by querying a DNS responder for certificate validation information, receiving such information, and reporting the results of the queries to a client software application so that the user of the system can be informed as to whether the certificate has been revoked or not.
