Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
According to one embodiment of the present invention, a method of establishing a digital certificate on an endpoint includes establishing a connection between a proxy function module and the endpoint. The proxy function module is remotely located from the endpoint and operable to communicate with the endpoint and a certificate authority. Authentication information is generated at the endpoint. A portion of the authentication information is transmitted to the proxy function module. The proxy function module obtains a digital certificate based on the portion of the authentication information. The digital certificate is received at the endpoint from the proxy function module.
