A system for providing quality of service, QoS, levels to clients requesting certificates from a certificate management service, wherein the system comprises: a public application programming interface, API, operable to receive certificate requests from a plurality of clients via a network, each certificate request indicating: a number of computerized devices needing certificates; a timestamp indicating when the certificate request was transmitted; and a client identifier identifying a client requesting the certificates; managing means (801, 901) operable to: distribute the certificate requests from the plurality of clients across a plurality of intermediary client queues (903, 907, 909), each of the plurality of client queues corresponding to a particular client requesting certificates; and divide a client's certificate request in a client queue of the plurality of intermediary client queues (903, 907, 909) into smaller groups of one or more entries, each of the one or more entries comprising a subset of the number of computerized devices needing certificates; and arbitrating means operable to select a sequence of entries from the plurality of client queues (903, 907, 909) to be placed onto a QoS queue based at least in part on a number of entries in the QoS queue, a latency level of the certificate management service, and respective timestamps indicating when the certificate requests were transmitted, wherein the managing means (801, 901) is operable to retrieve entries from the QoS queue in the sequence selected by the arbitrating means and transmit, via an internal registration authority API of the certificate management service, the retrieved entries to the certificate management service. a number of computerized devices needing certificates; a timestamp indicating when the certificate request was transmitted; and a client identifier identifying a client requesting the certificates; managing means (801, 901) operable to: distribute the certificate requests from the plurality of clients across a plurality of intermediary client queues (903, 907, 909), each of the plurality of client queues corresponding to a particular client requesting certificates; and divide a client's certificate request in a client queue of the plurality of intermediary client queues (903, 907, 909) into smaller groups of one or more entries, each of the one or more entries comprising a subset of the number of computerized devices needing certificates; and arbitrating means operable to select a sequence of entries from the plurality of client queues (903, 907, 909) to be placed onto a QoS queue based at least in part on a number of entries in the QoS queue, a latency level of the certificate management service, and respective timestamps indicating when the certificate requests were transmitted, wherein the managing means (801, 901) is operable to retrieve entries from the QoS queue in the sequence selected by the arbitrating means and transmit, via an internal registration authority API of the certificate management service, the retrieved entries to the certificate management service. distribute the certificate requests from the plurality of clients across a plurality of intermediary client queues (903, 907, 909), each of the plurality of client queues corresponding to a particular client requesting certificates; and divide a client's certificate request in a client queue of the plurality of intermediary client queues (903, 907, 909) into smaller groups of one or more entries, each of the one or more entries comprising a subset of the number of computerized devices needing certificates; and arbitrating means operable to select a sequence of entries from the plurality of client queues (903, 907, 909) to be placed onto a QoS queue based at least in part on a number of entries in the QoS queue, a latency level of the certificate management service, and respective timestamps indicating when the certificate requests were transmitted, wherein the managing means (801, 901) is operable to retrieve entries from the QoS queue in the sequence selected by the arbitrating means and transmit, via an internal registration authority API of the certificate management service, the retrieved entries to the certificate management service.
