Abstract
A certificate orchestration system for digital certificate and encryption key management is provided herein along with associated methods. The system includes a certificate orchestration server having a processing device in communication with a coupled storage system that is coupled to the certificate orchestration server. The system further includes an interface provided by the certificate orchestration server to a client device; and a database to store digital certificates and keys. The certificate orchestration server is configured to receive a request from the client device to generate a digital certificate and an associated public key, receive the digital certificate and associated public key from a third-party certificate authority system over an external network, store the digital certificate and public key in the coupled storage system. The coupled storage system is not directly connected to the client device.
