1. A computer-implemented method for providing a self-contained certificate signing request (SC CSR), the method comprising:
determining an entity that requires a certificate, wherein the certificate identifies the entity to other entities;
binding an identity of a requestor to the SC CSR;
sending the SC CSR that is bound with the identity to one or more intermediaries which is passed along to a certificate authority (CA), wherein the CA performs a validation on the SC CSR that is bound with the identity to verify the identity and an authorization to receive certificates by the requestor; and
receiving the certificate from the CA.
