Abstract
Methods and apparatuses for validating the status of digital certificates include a relying party receiving at least one digital certificate and determining if the at least one digital certificate is to be validated against a private certificate status database. The relying party accesses the private certificate status database and cryptographically validates the authenticity of data in the private certificate status database. The relying party also validates the at least one digital certificate based on information in at least one of the private certificate status database and a public certificate status database.
