Abstract:
A method and system provide digital certificates of authentication for authenticating software installed on computer devices. The digital certificates of authentication authorized the use of software installed on computer devices by binding such a digital certificate to an attribute of the computer device. In one example, the digital certificate of authentication is bound to a motherboard serial number of a computer device. The method and system further provide a secure environment for transmitting one or more digital certificates of authentication.
