Abstract
A scanner discovers digital certificates by scanning an address range. The scanner scans the address range to determine whether a digital certificate has been installed for each address in the address range. The scanner receives digital certificate information when the digital certificate has been installed for an address. The address range that is scanned may include addresses associated with an installed digital certificate and addresses not associated with an installed digital certificate.
