    Abstract: Systems and methods for authenticating public key infrastructure certificate enrollment using certificate entitlement licenses. One example system includes a device manager including an electronic processor. The electronic processor is configured to receive a request for software for an electronic device including a unique electronic device identifier. The electronic processor is configured to determine, based on the request, whether the electronic device is entitled to participate in a certificate management service. The electronic processor is configured to, responsive to determining that the electronic device is entitled to participate in a certificate management service, transmit a certificate entitlement license request including the unique device identifier to a certificate entitlement license manager. The electronic processor is configured to receive, from the certificate entitlement license manager, a certificate entitlement license for the unique device identifier. The electronic processor is configured to deliver the certificate entitlement license based on the unique device identifier.

    Abstract: A process of issuing a limited-use electronic certificate. In operation, a public key infrastructure (PKI) device receives a request for an electronic certificate from an end entity. The PKI device detects an anomaly with respect to the request received from the end entity. The PKI device generates, based on the detected anomaly, a limited-use electronic certificate. The PKI then issues the limited-use electronic certificate to the end entity. When the end entity determines that the issued certificate is a limited-use certificate with limited-use attributes such as a shortened validity period or lowered assurance level, the end entity provides a visual and/or audio prompt indicating the issuance of the limited-use certificate and further including one or more corrective actions to be performed to eliminate the anomaly prior to sending a new request for an electronic certificate to the PKI device.
