Abstract
A method for managing certificates includes the steps of transmitting, over an electronic network by an electronic device of a client, a certificate request to a certificate management portal separate from the client, establishing an interaction with an electronic interface of a certificate authority by the certificate management portal; generating, by the certificate authority, a certificate package, delivering the generated certificate package to the certificate management portal, and downloading from the certificate management portal, by the client, at least one certificate of the delivered certificate package.
