Abstract
A system for generating certificates, the system include a certification generation unit having a processor and a memory with an application in the memory executing the steps of generating a digital certificate, retrieving verification information from a user where the verification information are unique to the user, appending a certificate content onto the verification information, appending an issuing authority identifier to the verification information, appending metadata to the verification information, embedding the appended verification information into the digital certificate, encoding the digital certificate with the embedded information, and issuing the encoded digital certificate.
Claims19
A system for generating certificates, the system include a certification generation unit having a processor and a memory with an application in the memory executing the steps of:
- generating a digital certificate;
- retrieving verification information from a user where the verification information are unique to the user;
- appending a certificate content onto the verification information;
- appending an issuing authority identifier to the verification information;
- appending metadata to the verification information;
- generate certificate code based on the appended verification information;
- embedding the certificate code into the digital certificate;
- encoding the digital certificate with the certificate code;
- and
- issuing a rendered digital certificate.
A system of verifying a user, the system including a verification unit having a processor and a memory with an application in the memory executing the steps of:
- retrieving a digital certificate from a user;
- decoding the digital certificate;
- extracting verification information from the decoded digital certificate where the verification information is unique to the user associated with the digital certificate;
- retrieving verification information from the user;
- comparing the verification information from the user with the extracted verification information;
- and
- verifying the digital certificate as being generated by the user if the extracted verification information matches the retrieved verification information.
The system of claim 16, wherein the biometric information is at least one of a fingerprint scan, an iris scan, a facial scan or a knuckle scan.
