Abstract
A security event management system for an electronic connected network includes a public key infrastructure subsystem configured to generate a security ID for a connected device accessing the network, a digital ledger, a trigger list in operable communication with the digital ledger, and an event manager configured to (i) subscribe to the trigger list by defining at least one reportable event of which the trigger list is to advise the event manager, and (ii) receive a notification from the trigger list upon validation of the at least one reportable event behind the digital ledger.
Claims20
A security event management system for an electronic connected network, comprising:
- a public key infrastructure (PKI) subsystem configured to (i) generate a certificate for a connected device accessing the network, and (ii) provision the certificate for submission as a genesis transaction of a digital ledger, wherein the genesis transaction precedes all other transactions in the digital ledger, and wherein the all other transactions in the digital ledger may trace to the genesis transaction;
- a trigger list in operable communication with the digital ledger;
- and
- an event manager configured to (i) subscribe to the trigger list by defining at least one reportable event, related to the certificate, of which the trigger list is to advise the event manager, and (ii) receive, from the trigger list, a validation notification of the at least one reportable event,
- wherein the validation notification is based on a spend condition of the certificate in a second transaction of the digital ledger within the all other transactions, and
- wherein the spend condition indicates that the certificate is (i) renewed, or (ii) revoked.
