Abstract
A computer system and process for issuing digital certificates use domain-control vetting to issue certificates. A requestor requests a certificate from a certificate authority, which identifies at least one approver to approve issuance of the digital certificate. If approved, the certificate authority accepts the request, creates and signs the certificate, and the signed certificate is sent to the requester.
