Abstract:
1. A computer-implemented method comprising: providing a graphical user interface for creating a digital certificate profile for a digital certificate, the graphical user interface presenting a plurality of certificate profile attributes selectable by a user; generating, via a processor, a first metric indicating a vulnerability of a digital certificate generated from the digital certificate profile, wherein a value of the first metric is determined based on a selected subset of the certificate profile attributes; generating a second metric indicating an ease of use of the digital certificate generated from the digital certificate profile, wherein a value of the second metric is determined based on the selected subset of the certificate profile attributes; generating, via the processor, a certificate profile preview representing an example of the digital certificate to be generated, wherein the certificate profile preview includes a graphical representation of the first and second metrics; and providing a graphical representation of the generated certificate profile preview in the graphical user interface, wherein the graphical representation includes a certificate table having a first column having a list of certificate fields and a second column having a list of values corresponding to the certificate fields, the list of values including structural representations of values to be collected when creating digital certificates using the digital certificate profile.
