Abstract
A method and system for implementing network policy is described. The method involves storing policy data using certificates using a certificate database server. Upon retrieval, a policy is then validated as properly certified prior to use. When a policy is not validated, it indicates tampering or improper policy data entry. When policy data is successfully validated, the policy is implemented.
