Abstract
A request is received from a requestor for security credentials. An initial credential authority is selected based upon a first predetermined criteria. When the initial credentials authority is not available, a back-up credentials authority is chosen based upon a second predetermined criteria. The security credentials are obtained from the back-up certificate authority. The security credentials are transmitted to the requestor.
