Abstract
Multiuse certificates (e.g., wildcard certificates) can be associated with policies that specify one or more computational constraints, e.g., limited processor power, limited access time, limited access to file system usage, or limited memory access. An application associated with a multiuse certificate can be monitored to ensure that the specified computational constraints are not violated. Upon the computational constraints being violated, the multiuse certificate can be invalidated and/or authentication requests rejected.
