ABSTRACT:
A keystore is described which provides unique views of certificates and keys to particular application components and/or users. Upon receiving a request from a user and/or an application component to view keystore data, the keystore system implements a first set of security restrictions associated with the request and provides a limited view of the keystore data to the requesting user and/or application component based on the results of the first set of security restrictions. Then, upon detecting an attempt by the user and/or application component to access specified portions of the keystore data provided in the view, the keystore system implements a second set of security restrictions associated with the attempt to access the specified portions of the keystore data, and provides access to the keystore data to the user and/or application component based on the results of the second set of security restrictions.
