Efficient Proprietary Certification Process and Secured Theft-Protected Proprietary Certificates
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper presents a new simple scheme for theft-protected proprietary certificate problem by introducing a mobile phone as an additional requirement for the proprietor and this scheme is analyzed to be more secured than the one presented by M. Jakobsson, et al. Secondly we present the proprietary certification process using Elliptic Curve Discrete Log Problem (ECDLP) instead of Discrete Log Problem (DLP) for defining the relation R and we conclude that by introducing ECDLP the certification process is more efficient than DLP.

Traditional certificates, however, are not secure against certificate lending, i.e., a situation in which a certificate holder voluntarily shares with others the rights bestowed upon him through a certificate. This type of abuse is a concern in several types o...

CA and PKI are crucial parts of many secure network applications. In this paper, we present our effort in the design and implementation of CA/PKI on the PC Windows environment. The Borland C++Builder 5 is used as a software tool to develop client and server software while the Microsoft SQL is used to manage X.509v3 certificates stored at CA. Our CA server is also equipped with a proprietary har...
