Abstract

Techniques for validating digital certificate information before signing are described. A method of validating digital certificate information before signing may include generating a to-be-signed (TBS) certificate, providing the TBS certificate to a certificate pre-issuance validation service to perform one or more validations on the TBS certificate, and receiving a request to issue a signed certificate based on the TBS certificate following validation of the TBS certificate by the certificate pre-issuance validation service.
