ABSTRACT:
An apparatus and method for managing a plurality of certificates are provided. The apparatus for managing a plurality of certificates includes a plurality of certificates, a certificate search table, a low-performance file system, and a verification module. The certificate search table includes information about the plurality of certificates. The low-performance file system extracts a corresponding certificate from among the plurality of certificates that are received from a host device, with reference to the certificate search table based on a root certificate authority ID and information about a public key of a certificate of a certificate authority that issued the host device certificate. The verification module uses the extracted certificate to verify the host device certificate.
