摘要:
This method provides for electronic certificate assignment in a certificate assignment infrastructure distributed in a network. The infrastructure includes at least one certificate server, an identity server and a registration server linked to the network. Prior to a certificate application request, information relating to the identity of a certificate applicant is stored in the identity server, the identity information being accessible by way of an identifier. In this method, an applicant requests a certificate from the registration server; the identifier is dispatched to the identity server; after verification of the identifier, the identity server dispatches the previously registered identity of the applicant, said identity being provided to the registration server; after receipt of the identity, the registration server dispatches a certificate request including the identity of the applicant to the certificate server, and the certificate server dispatches the certificate destined for the applicant.
