Abstract
Systems and methods for using ring usage certificate extensions are described. Some implementations described limit the ability of signers using a 'ring signature' from using public key certificates to create the ring signatures without the permission of the creators of those respective public key certificates. An implementation may describe receiving a request to validate, receiving a plurality of digital certificates associated with the request to validate, determining the request to validate requires validation of a ring signature using the plurality of digital certificates, determining one or more of the plurality of digital certificates comprises a ring usage certificate extension, analyzing the ring usage certificate extension to retrieve a value associated with the ring usage certificate extension, and failing validation of the request based on determining the request to validate requires validation of the ring signature and based on the value associated with the ring usage certificate extension.
