Abstract
Techniques are disclosed for rapidly securing a server in response to request for a high-assurance digital certificate. As described, a CA may issue a basic tier certificate after performing a verification process to confirm that a party requesting a certificate for a given network domain, in fact, has control of that domain. Once issued and provisioned on the server, the server can establish secure connections with clients. At the same time, the CA continues to perform progressive identity verification processes for progressively higher tiers of certificates. Once the identity verification process at each tier is complete, the CA issues a new certificate for the corresponding tier, which may then be provisioned on the server. After performing all of the identity verification processes, the server can issue the requested high-assurance certificate.
