Abstract
Various embodiments enable so-called extended data to be added to a signed digital certificate without having a private key of a Certification Authority available. In at least some embodiments, a digital certificate can be issued and signed off line by the Certification Authority, and then later extended data can be added and signed using another key, whose public key was earlier embedded and signed in the certificate.
