Abstract
Digital certificates for a set of multiple network services are maintained in a certificate store and managed through a single access point that provides access to the certificate store. The certificates are managed, at least in part by i) assigning one or more tags to each digital certificate in the set of digital certificates, one of the tags indicating a service in the set of services that uses the digital certificate to perform secure communications over the communication network, and ii) performing a set of certificate management operations through the single access point to the certificate store. At least one of the certificate management operations performed through the single access point selects a subset of the digital certificates from the set of digital certificates based at least in part on the tags assigned to the digital certificates.
