Domain-Based Administration of Identity-Based Cryptosystems for Secure Email and IPSEC
Error message
You are not authorized to post comments.Effective widespread deployment of cryptographic technologies such as secure email and IPsec has been hampered by the difficulties involved in establishing a large scale public key infrastructure, or PKI. Identity-based cryptography (IBC) can be used to ameliorate some of this problem. However, current approaches to using IBC for email or IPsec require a global, trusted key distribution center. In this paper, we present DNSIBC, a system that captures many of the advantages of using IBC, without requiring a global trust infrastructure. The resulting system can be configured to require almost no user intervention to secure both email and IP-based network traffic. We have built a preliminary implementation of this system in Linux.
