A method is provided for securely delivering identity data units over a communications network to a client device. The method includes receiving a selection from a customer identifying a final zipped package to be unpacked. The final zipped package is unpacked to obtain a common package and a digital signature file signed by an entity generating identity data requested by the customer. The digital signature in the digital signature file is verified and the common package is unpacked to obtain a plurality of outer packages and an encrypted symmetric key. The symmetric key is decrypted with a private key associated with the customer and each of the outer packages is decrypted with the symmetric key to obtain a plurality of identity data units.

Layered protection and validation of identity data delivered online via multiple intermediate clients

A method and apparatus are provided for generating identity data to be provisioned in product devices that are a part of a project. The method includes establishing a template associated with each CA in a hierarchical chain of CAs having a root CA at a highest level in the chain and a signing CA at a lowest level in the chain. The template associated with the signing CA inherits mandatory attribute fields specified in the root CA and any intermediate CA in the hierarchical chain. The mandatory attribute fields are user-specifiable fields to be populated with PKI data. A configuration file is generated upon receipt of an order for digital certificates using PKI data provided by a user to populate the mandatory attribute fields of the template associated with the signing CA. The digital certificates requested in the order are generated using the PKI data in the configuration file.
