CERTIFICATE ISSUANCE SUPPORT SYSTEM, CERTIFICATE ISSUANCE SUPPORT METHOD AND PROGRAM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18250639 titled 'CERTIFICATE ISSUANCE SUPPORT SYSTEM, CERTIFICATE ISSUANCE SUPPORT METHOD AND PROGRAM

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a certificate issuance support system that includes a certificate application device and an existence assurance device.

  • The certificate application device is used by an organization to apply for an OV certificate from an authentication station.
  • The existence assurance device is used by another organization to guarantee the existence of the first organization.
  • The existence assurance device provides a signature to information that proves the existence of the first organization.
  • The certificate application device generates a signature to information that proves the affiliation of a member with the authentication station.
  • The existence assurance device verifies the signature generated by the certificate application device.
  • The certificate application device transmits the signed information to the authentication station to receive the OV certificate.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • This technology can be used in organizations that require OV certificates for authentication purposes.
  • It can be used in industries where verifying the existence of organizations is crucial, such as finance, healthcare, and government.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • It enhances security by using signatures to guarantee the authenticity of information.
  • The system provides a streamlined and efficient way to obtain OV certificates.


Original Abstract Submitted

A certificate issuance support system includes a certificate application device in a first organization for applying to an authentication station for issuance of an OV certificate; and an existence assurance device in a second organization for guaranteeing the existence of the first organization. The existence assurance device imparts a first signature to first information for guaranteeing the existence of the first organization in response to a request from a terminal used by a member of the first organization, transmits the first information imparted with the first signature is to the certificate application device, and verifies a second signature generated by the certificate application device and imparted to second information for guaranteeing affiliation of the member with the authentication station. The certificate application device transmits the first information with the first signature and the second information with the second signature to the authentication station to receive the OV certificate.
