A computer-implemented method comprising:
- requesting client certificates from remote terminals that request to access a computing resource;
- and
- updating account access statistics based on information provided by presence or absence of the client certificates and contents of the client certificates for the client certificates that are present.
A system comprising:
- data storage to store a collection of statistics;
- and
- a computing entity coupled to the data storage, the computing entity to request client certificates from remote terminals that request to access a computing resource, and to update account access statistics based on information provided by presence or absence of the client certificates and contents of the client certificates for the client certificates that are present.
A computer readable storage medium including instructions that, when executed by a processing system, cause the processing system to perform a method comprising:
- requesting client certificates from remote terminals that request to access a computing resource;
- and
- updating account access statistics based on information provided by presence or absence of the client certificates and contents of the client certificates for the client certificates that are present.
