- receiving at the registration station a request for a digital certificate from a user;
the registration station instructing the verification station to forward to the user a message associated with the request,comparing the message against the user at the authentication station to determine-whether the message properly identifies the user;

Abstract
Methods and systems are provided for a secured electronic communication in a network that includes a verification station, a registration station, and a authentication station. At the registration station, a request for a digital certificate is received from a user. The registration station instructs the verification station to forward to the user a message associated with the request. The message is compared against the user at the authentication station to determine whether the message properly identifies the user. A first signal indicating the result of the comparison is sent to the verification station. If the first signal indicates that the message properly identifies the user, a second signal is sent to the registration station. Based on the second signal, the registration system then generates a digital certificate.
