Abstract
A system and method for supporting operations with multiple certification authorities (CAs) on a communication device. A common CA interface is provided between a plurality of secure communication applications and a plurality of CA-specific components, each of which interacts with a particular CA. A further common interface may also be provided for operatively coupling the secure communication applications to cryptographic components in the device.
