Abstract
In embodiments, an authentication server interfaces between a user device with a self-signed certificate and a verifying computer that accepts a user name and password. The user device generates a self-signed certificate signed by a private key on the user device. The self-signed certificate is transmitted to a verifying party computer over a network. A redirecting module redirects the self-signed certificate chain to an authentication server. The authentication server is also provided a user name, password and verifying computer address, which is stored in a password database by the authentication server, in association with the self-signed certificate. Subsequent communications intended for the verifying computer with the self-signed certificate are redirected to the authentication server, which looks up the associated user name and password and transmits the associated user name and password to the verifying computer.
