Abstract
Systems and methods are disclosed for providing a Web-centric authentication protocol. In one implementation, a processing device receives a user request to access a protected resource and determines that a digital certificate for accessing the protected resource is not stored locally. A processing device requests a first digital certificate from an authentication service. A processing device receives the first certificate from the authentication service. A processing device receives a certificate request from the authentication service. A processing device provides the first digital certificate to the authentication service in response to the certificate request. A processing device receives a second digital certificate from the authentication service. A processing device accesses the protected resource using the second digital certificate.
