TOKEN-BASED MANAGEMENT SYSTEM FOR PKI PERSONALIZATION PROCESS.

摘要

System for token-based management of a PKI personalization process includes a token request and management system (TRMS) configured to gather request information from a requestor and a token personalization system (TPS) configured to personalize a hardware token such that usage of the hardware token is constrained by the request information A method for token-based management of a PKI personalization process includes requesting a hardware token, personalizing a hardware token such that the hardware token is confined to operation within limiting parameters, binding the hardware token to a workstation which is configured receive the hardware token and use credentials within the hardware token to request and download PKI data from a PKI server, the workstation being further configured to personalize an end user product by loading the PKI data into internal memory contained within the end user product, and monitoring usage of the hardware token and the PKI data.
