The system includes a first server comprising a detection module and a notification module. The system having at least one server capable of actively monitoring and detecting changes in conditions of a certificate. Other CAP servers in the system may and/or may not actively monitor electronic certificates at the same time. That is, these CAP servers may actively monitor conditions of electronic certificates at the same time they play passive roles (e.g., not monitoring the electronic certificates for which they will be notified of changes from another CAP server). The change in condition that will trigger the notification action of the present invention includes changes to the content of the electronic certificate and/or changes of the status of the electronic certificates including, but not limited to, the revocation of, roll-over of, disablement of, expiration of the electronic certificate.
