Scheduled synchronization of a data store with certificate revocation lists independent of connection requests
A certificate revocation manager performs scheduled synchronization of a certificate revocation table with certificate revocation lists (CRLs) independent of connection requests from clients. The certificate revocation table includes entries that each indicate a client certificate that has been revoked by a certificate authority (CA). On a scheduled basis, the certificate revocation manager synchronizes the entries of the certificate revocation table with current CRLs obtained from different CAs. When a service at receives a request from a client to establish a connection, the service generates a composite key based on a CA identifier and a certificate identifier of a client certificate provided by the client. The service performs a lookup on the certificate revocation table based on the composite key. Based on a result of the lookup, the certificate revocation manager determines whether the client certificate is revoked. |

Method of establishing a future 2-way authentication between a client application and an application server
A process for establishing a future 2-way authentication between a client application and an application server. In operation, an OIDC server receives a request from the client application to establish a secure connection from the client application. The request includes a certificate generated using a public-private key pair associated with the client application or a user, and authentication credentials associated with the client application or the user. The OIDC server establishes that the authentication credentials are valid, and provisions a cryptographic identifier of the certificate associated with the request to a list of trusted certificates. The OIDC server then provides one or more application servers with access to the list of trusted certificates to enable the application servers to authenticate the client application based on verifying that cryptographic identifier of the certificate presented by the client application is provisioned into the list of trusted certificates. |

Method and apparatus for reversible tokenization with support for embeddable role-based access control
Participants as requestors using a requesting network element request one or more tokenization processors to generate tokens that represent a sanitized version of data such that the resultant tokens are amenable to comparison across participants. As circumstances warrant, one or more such tokens can be submitted to the tokenization processor(s) to privately retrieve the original data. Role-based access control scope parameters and tokenization processor-specific tokenization processor secrets can be embedded into reversible tokens that remain invariant under updating of the tokenization processor secrets across tokenization processors. By another approach, role-based access control scope parameters and tokenization processor-specific tokenization processor secrets are embedded into tokens and corresponding key tokens such that upon authorized presentation of a token by a requestor, the corresponding key token is recovered so that the keying material that was used to generate ciphertext is retrievable in order to recover the corresponding plaintext. |
