ABSTRACT:
An authority provides authenticated information about a plurality of certificate identifiers by generating a data string identifying all the plurality of certificate identifiers and by having the authority authenticate one or more of the data string alone, the data string together with date information, or the data string together with additional information. The date information may include the date of authentication. The additional information may include a date of issuance of at least one of the certificates. The additional information may include certificate information about at least some of the issued certificates. The certificate information may include one or more of: revocation information or validity information of at least some of the issued certificates.
