Abstract
An embodiment includes a method of client-server trust management. The method includes receiving, at a client device, a public key of a system server and locally seeding the public key in a secure storage at the client device. The method includes receiving a certificate list signed by a private key of the system server and verifying a source of the certificate list using the seeded public key. The method includes initiating a handshake process with a second device during which a digital device certificate of the second device is received. The method includes halting the handshake process and validating the second device by matching the digital device certificate with a certificate included on the verified certificate list. Based on the validation, the method includes managing a communication session with the second device to enable or prevent data transfer between the client device and the second device.
