Abstract
Embodiments of the present invention provide a method and system, including a client and security token, for reducing a size of a security-related object stored in the token. The object is stored in a storage structure that is indexed according to an identity reference to a certificate associated with the object and a private key identifier identifying a private key assigned to an owner of the token. A request to access an encrypted data object results in accessing the private key identifier in the storage structure using only the identity reference as an index.
