A central server configured with an Attribute Authority ('AA') acting as a Trusted Third Party mediating service provider and using X.509-compatible PKI and PMI, VPN technology, device-side thin client applications, security hardware (HSM, Network), cloud hosting, authentication, Active Directory and other solutions. This ecosystem results in real time management of credentials, identity profiles, communication lines, and keys. It is not centrally managed, rather distributes rights to users. Using its Inviter-Invitee protocol suite, Inviters vouch for the identity of Invitees who successfully complete the protocol establishing communication lines. Users establish and respond to authorization requests and other real-time verifications pertaining to accessing each communication line (not end point) and sharing encrypted digital files. These are auditable, brokered, trusted-relationships where such relationships/digital agreements can each stand-alone (for privacy) or can leverage build-up of identity confidence levels across relationships. The service is agnostic to how encrypted user content is transported or stored.

System and method to enable PKI- and PMI-based distributed locking of content and distributed unlocking of protected content and/or scoring of users and/or scoring of end-entity access means—added

Method for utilizing a communication line certificate corresponding to a first device and a second device for a communication line, each of the first and second devices including a hardware processor and associated memory includes: creating a unique ID, by a third electronic device; transmitting the unique ID to the first generating a digitally signed request by the first device, wherein the digitally signed request comprises a first proof of an association of the first device to the communication line; transmitting the digitally signed request to the second device; verifying the first proof by the second device to produce a first verification of the association of the first device to the communication line; and generating a digitally signed acceptance by the second device, wherein the digitally signed acceptance comprises a second proof of an association of the second device to the communication line.

Using PKI for security and authentication of control devices and their data

Method for authenticating a first and a second electronic devices associated through a communication line includes: creating a unique ID, by a third electronic device; transmitting the unique ID to the first electronic device; signing the transmitted unique ID by the first electronic device; transmitting the signed unique ID to the second electronic device, by the first electronic device; signing the transmitted signed unique ID by the second electronic device; transmitting the unique ID signed by the first and second electronic devices to the third electronic device; verifying and accepting the unique ID signed by the first device and the second device, by the third device; issuing a certificate for a secure communication line between the first electronic device and the second electronic device; and transmitting the certificate to the first electronic device and the second electronic device.

System and method to enable PKI- and PMI-based distributed locking of content and distributed unlocking of protected content and/or scoring of users and/or scoring of end-entity access means&#x2014;added

Method for establishing secure communication between a plurality of IoT devices in one or more vehicles include: provisioning the plurality of IoT devices by providing a unique identification, a digital identity token and a cryptographic key to each of the plurality of IoT devices; establishing a secure communication line between the plurality of IoT devices by authenticating respective communication lines between respective IoT devices and issuing a digital certificate to the respective communication lines; grouping the plurality of IoT devices into different groups based on a predetermined criteria; and including a group membership for a group of the different groups in an attribute certificate indicating group characterization.

Secure communication of IOT devices for vehicles

System and method to enable PKI- and PMI- based distributed locking of content and distributed unlocking of protected content and/or scoring of users and/or scoring of end-entity access means-added

System and method for authenticating a computer user includes: sending an invitation message from an entity computer to an API for authenticating a user of a user computer; receiving and translating by the API the invitation message and sending the translated invitation message including the first public key to the platform server; sending an invitation response to the API to be translated and sending the translated invitation response to the entity computer; preparing a first message including a link and a unique code by the entity computer and sending the first message to the user computer; registering with the platform server utilizing the link and the unique code, and generating a second public key, by the user computer; receiving a correct answer to the secret from the user computer; receiving the second public key by the platform server; and authenticating the user based on the received correct answer.

System and method to use a cloud-based platform supported by an API to authenticate remote users and to provide PKI- and PMI- based distributed locking of content and distributed unlocking of protected content

System and method for establishing a secure communication between a plurality of Internet of Things (IoT) devices, includes provisioning a first and a second IoT devices by providing a unique identification, a digital identity token and a cryptographic key to each of the first and second IoT devices; authenticating the second IoT device by the first IoT device; inviting the second IoT device by the first IoT device to establish a communication line with the first IoT device; establishing a secure communication line between the first IoT device and the second IoT device by authenticating the communication line between the first IoT device and the second IoT device and issuing a digital certificate to the communication line between the first IoT device and the second IoT device; establishing secure communication lines between the first IoT device, the second IoT device and a plurality of more devices; and grouping the first IoT device, the second IoT device and the plurality of more devices into different groups based on a predetermined criteria.

System and method from Internet of Things (IoT) security and management

System and method for establishing a secure communication between a plurality of Internet of Things (IoT) devices, includes issuing a first digital certificate to the second IoT device, inviting the second IoT device by the first IoT device to establish a communication line with the first IoT device by receiving a digital token from the second IoT device, authenticating the second IoT device using the unique identification and cryptographic key of the second IoT device; establishing a secure communication line between the first IoT device and the second IoT device by authenticating the established communication line and issuing a second digital certificate to the communication line between the first IoT device and the second IoT device; and preventing a third IoT device for which a secure communication line to the first or second IoT device has not been established from communicating with the first or second IoT device.

System and method for internet of things (IOT) security and management

A security system for authenticating users and protecting content that provides an application program interface (API) with a Cloud Platform integration (Platform) to extend the security capabilities of Public Key Infrastructure and Privilege Management Infrastructure systems to authenticated external users and protected content.

System and method to use a cloud-based platform supported by an API to authenticate remote users and to provide PKI- and PMI-based distributed locking of content and distributed unlocking of protected content
