1. A method, comprising:
- receiving a request for digital certificate public information;
accessing, via a processor in response to the request, at least one registry that identifies hosted digital certificate public information published by a plurality of distributed certificate management agents, where at least one of the plurality of distributed certificate management agents comprises a remote certificate management agent;
determining, from the accessed at least one registry, whether a local digital certificate public information directory exists and stores the requested digital certificate public information;
extracting the requested digital certificate public information from at least one of the local digital certificate public information directory and at least one digital certificate stored within at least one digital certificate storage repository; and
providing the requested digital certificate public information in response to the digital certificate public information request;
where, in response to determining that the local digital certificate public information directory does not exist, further comprising;
dynamically creating the local digital certificate public information directory; and
storing the requested digital certificate public information within the dynamically-created local certificate public information directory to support additional digital certificate information requests.

8. A system, comprising:
-
a memory; and a processor programmed to; receive a request for digital certificate public information; access, in response to the request, at least one registry that identifies hosted digital certificate public information published by a plurality of distributed certificate management agents, where at least one of the plurality of distributed certificate management agents comprises a remote certificate management agent; determine, from the accessed at least one registry, whether a local digital certificate public information directory exists and stores the requested digital certificate public information; extract the requested digital certificate public information from at least one of the local digital certificate public information directory and at least one digital certificate stored within at least one digital certificate storage repository; and provide the requested digital certificate public information in response to the digital certificate public information request; where, in response to determining that the local digital certificate public information directory does not exist, the processor is further programmed to; dynamically create the local digital certificate public information directory; and store the requested digital certificate public information within the dynamically-created local certificate public information directory within the memory to support additional digital certificate information requests. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12)

13. A computer program product comprising a computer readable storage device including computer readable program code, where the computer readable program code when executed on a computer causes the computer to:
-
receive a request for digital certificate public information; access, in response to the request, at least one registry that identifies hosted digital certificate public information published by a plurality of distributed certificate management agents, where at least one of the plurality of distributed certificate management agents comprises a remote certificate management agent; determining, from the accessed at least one registry, whether a local digital certificate public information directory exists and stores the requested digital certificate public information; extract the requested digital certificate public information from at least one of the local digital certificate public information directory and at least one digital certificate stored within at least one digital certificate storage repository; and provide the requested digital certificate public information in response to the digital certificate public information request; where, in response to determining that the local digital certificate public information directory does not exist, the computer readable program code when executed on the computer further causes the computer to; dynamically create the local digital certificate public information directory; and store the requested digital certificate public information within the dynamically-created local certificate public information directory to support additional digital certificate information requests. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17)
