A computer system and process for automated identification, processing and
issuance of digital certificates uses web server domain-control vetting
to issue web server certificates. A requestor requests a web server
certificate from a certificate authority and uses approver email address
or addresses to request that the approver approve issuance of the
certificate. If approved, the certificate authority accepts the request,
creates and signs the certificate, and the signed certificate is sent to
the requestor.
