Abstract
A method for utilizing a registration authority to facilitate a certificate signing request is disclosed. In at least one embodiment, a registration authority computer may receive a certificate signing request associated with a token requestor. The registration authority may authenticate the identity of the token requestor and forward the certificate signing request to a certificate authority computer. A token requestor ID and a signed certificate may be provided by the certificate authority computer and forwarded to the token requestor. The token requestor ID may be utilized by the token requestor to generate digital signatures for subsequent token-based transactions.
