ABSTRACT:
A system for notification of a change in condition of an electronic certificate is disclosed. The system includes a certificate server comprising a processor having a computer program comprising a plurality of executable modules that are executable on the processor. A first executable module is for detecting a change in condition of an electronic certificate. A second executable module in the computer program is for notifying a user of the electronic certificate of the change in condition. The computer program may comprise a third module for negotiating a contract, called a certificate action point (CAP), with the certificate user regarding the type of change in condition the second module notifies the certificate user of, the way the second module notifies the certificate user, the diligence with which the second module notifies the certificate user of the change in condition, and a price for notifying the certificate user. The change in condition may comprise revocation of, roll-over of, change in field of, disablement of, expiration of the electronic certificate, or other type of change in condition of an electronic recognized by those skilled in the art. An updated electronic certificate may be forwarded to the certificate user, thereby updating the electronic certificate with respect to the certificate user to the new version of the electronic certificate. Alternatively, the certificate user may selectively download an updated version of the electronic certificate from the certificate server.
