1. A method, comprising:
- obtaining, within an asynchronous messaging environment from a certificate server of an issuer of an existing digital certificate, a renewed digital certificate to replace the existing digital certificate, where the renewed digital certificate comprises an extended attribute that stores a serial number value of the existing digital certificate;
receiving a message with a symmetric key encrypted using the existing digital certificate and identified within the message via the serial number value of the existing digital certificate; and
processing the message using the renewed digital certificate.

Abstract
A renewed digital certificate is obtained within an asynchronous messaging environment from a certificate server of an issuer of an existing digital certificate to replace the existing digital certificate. The renewed digital certificate includes an extended attribute that stores a serial number value of the existing digital certificate. A message is received with a symmetric key that is encrypted using the existing digital certificate. The symmetric key is identified within the message by the serial number value of the existing digital certificate. The message is processed using the renewed digital certificate.
