Abstract

Facilitating management of digital certificates is addressed. More specifically, digital certificates as well as public and private keys can be stored in a centrally accessible location and dynamically acquired from the location as needed. Additionally, binding of digital certificates and associated keys can be implicit and determined as a function of a host name provided during protocol negotiation, for example.
