One embodiment of the present invention envisions providing requester with an application for a mobile device equipped with a built-in digital photo camera. The application controls the camera and prevents alterations to an image taken with the camera. The unaltered image of a portrait photograph of the requester is transmitted from the mobile device to the verifier's server computer. The image of the portrait photograph of the requester may further be used to verify the requester by comparing the image to the photographs from other sources.

The present invention provides systems and methods for enabling encrypted communication capabilities for a Subscriber's Web Site, thereby allowing Customers to access the Subscriber's Web Site in a secure manner. A Hosting Provider, that hosts the Subscriber's Web Site, and a Certificate Authority (CA), that verifies the identity of the Subscriber, provide the Subscriber's Web Site with Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) encrypted communications capability. The Hosting Provider and CA communicate directly with each other as needed, typically via the Internet, without using the Subscriber as an intermediary in their communications.

Methods of the present inventions allow for social website account authentication. An example embodiment of a domain name control based social website account authentication method may comprise the steps of receiving a request to verify the authenticity a social website account (the request may comprise a business name and a business email address comprising a first domain name), submitting the business name to a search engine, receiving a search result webpage having a plurality of links (that each include a domain name), selecting the most relevant link, extracting a second domain name from the most relevant link, determining whether the first domain name matches the second domain name, and—if so—certifying the authenticity of the social website account.

Disclosed systems and methods provide for tracking of domain name related reputation by a domain name Registering Entity (e.g. Registry, Registrar, Reseller, etc.). The Registering Entity maintains a database with reputation data that can be accessed by the requesters. A domain name may be registered through the Registering Entity or a third party. The reputation data may be tracked on the domain name itself, URLs, domain name purchaser or registrant, or email addresses associated with the domain name. The reputation data may include various categories, such as email practices, website content, privacy policies and practices, fraudulent activities, domain name related complaints, digital certificates associated with the domain name, overall reputation, etc. The reputation data may be digitally signed for authenticity. The requester may decide whether to allow email messages or to visit URLs based on the domain name related reputation.

Methods and systems of the present invention allow for dynamic updates of digital certificates, such as X.509 SSL certificates. The updates are available via a subscription, where the subscription is a technical, administrative, and/or financial arrangements between a Subscriber and a Certification Authority or between a Hosting Provider and the Certification Authority, which allow for dynamic, and in some embodiments automatic, updates of the Subscriber's certificate. The Subscriber regularly requests updates from the Certification Authority (pull-type methods and systems) or the Certification Authority updates certificates on Subscriber's servers (push-type methods and systems). The invention anticipates a use of short lifespan certificates, which substantially overcomes the issues connected to revoked certificates. If a certificate was revoked it will shortly expire and the Certification Authority would not update it. Also, if the private key was compromised, the person who obtained the private key would have very limited amount of time to exploit it. The invention adds more protection to the Subscribers and their clients.
