Abstract:
A certificate management processor (CMP) in a public key infrastructure (PKI) receives a request for a certificate management operation. The CMP determines that the request is associated with at least one of an end entity and a service. The CMP identifies a certificate management identifier associated with at least one of the end entity and the service. The CMP retrieves at least one status associated with the certificate management identifier and/or at least one status associated with the certificate management operation. The CMP performs the certificate management operation on a certificate when the retrieved at least one status is determined to not be suspended.
Abstract:
A method, mobile device, and PKI are provided for enrolling a mobile device into a PKI domain for certificate management is provided. A first asymmetric key pair and a unique identifier is established in a device. The first asymmetric key pair includes a public key and a private key. The public key and the unique identifier are transferred to the PKI domain. The public key and the unique identifier are imported into the PKI domain. The device generates a second asymmetric kay pair and sends a certificate signing request (CSR) that is protected with the digital signature of the first asymmetric key pair. The CSR is transferred to the PKI domain. The PKI domain authenticates the CSR using the first public key and the unique identifier. Upon validation, the PKI domain issues a certificate to the device.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a radio system, method, and device for a mobile station to indicate to an authentication controller, in an authentication response message, which of a plurality of group key link layer encryption keys (GKEK)s it currently has in its possession, and to work with the authentication controller to more intelligently manage multiple GKEKs. The authentication controller can use the information obtained from the authentication response message to determine which of a plurality of GKEKs to advertise in a key announcement broadcast. Furthermore, individual requests for a future LLE key (LEK) to be used for link layer encryption (LLE) encrypting and decrypting inbound and outbound group communications between base station(s) and mobile station(s) are responded to with a broadcast GKEK-encrypted transmission including the future LEK. Only the requesting mobile station transmits an acknowledgment packet in response to the broadcast.

Abstract:
A Public Key Infrastructure (PM) device receives a certificate signing request (CSR) from an end entity. The PKI device obtains at least one of: a controlling attribute of at least one PKI device associated with processing of the certificate signing request and a controlling attribute associated with the CSR. The PKI device obtains an end entity policy object (EEPO) to be associated with the end entity based on at least one obtained controlling attribute. Based on the obtained EEPO, the PKI device determines at least one attribute and at least one value associated with the attribute this is to be included in a certificate and issues, to the end entity, the certificate including the at least one attribute.
Abstract:
A process of extending retention periods of records. In operation, an electronic computing device identifies a retention period associated with the record. The device obtains information related to a future event. The information includes a time period during which the future event is predicted or scheduled to occur and a location at which the future event is predicted or scheduled to occur. When the device determines that the record is contextually related to the future event based at least in part on the time period or the location of the future event, the retention period associated with the record is extended. The device may also automatically extend retention periods of records based on a number of other retention-related factors associated with the record including recording content, record trustworthiness, recording time, recording location, recording data type, recording source, recording officers’ profile and their association, crime statistics, incident severity, and the like.
