Abstract
A machine has a processor and a network interface circuit connected to the processor to provide network connectivity to a client device. A memory is connected to the processor. The memory stores instructions executed by the processor to implement a persona management service that operates to receive a request for a new email account from the client device. A new email account is created in response to the request. Cryptographic credentials for the new email account are received from the client device. The cryptographic credentials are sent to a certificate authority. A certificate authority validation is received from the certificate authority. The new email account with a cryptographic credential from the certificate authority is registered. The cryptographic credential is conveyed to the client device.
