A Certification Authority issues X.509 public key certificates to bind a public key to a subject. The subject is specified through one or more subject names in the 'subject' or 'subjectAltName' fields of a certificate. In reality, however, there are individuals that have the same or similar names. This ambiguity can be resolved by including a 'permanent identifier' in all certificates issued to the same subject, which is unique across multiple CAs. But, a person's unique identifier is regarded as a sensitive personal data. Such an identifier cannot simply be included as part of the subject field, since its disclosure may lead to misuse. We present a new method for secure and accurate user authentication through the PEPSI included in the standard certificate extension of a X.509 certificate. The PEPSI can be served not only for user authentication but also for the user anonymity without divulging personal information.

In 1998, A. Young and M. Yung proposed the auto-recovery auto-certificate cryptosystem in public key infrastructure. We propose the new recoverable cryptosystem in public key infrastructure which is designed with the concept of A. Young et al's auto-recovery auto-certificate cryptosystem. It has the private/public key pairs of the user and the master private/public key pairs of the escrow authority. It is based on RSA cryptosystem and has efficiency and security.

In real life, we frequently use th proxy signatrue by delegating one's own privileges. It is necessary to distribute the data related to privilege delegation securely in order to use such a proxy signature in the Internet. However, inorder to use the secure proxy signature, we need to have some mechanism to prevent a proxy signer from misuse of privileges by applying proxy certificate and a privilege delegation mechanism to manage information with related to privilege delegarion. In addition, we have implemented the prototype to demonstrate the possible proxy signature service using proxy certificate.

Nowadays, major application of public key certification technology based on PKI(Public Key Infrastructure) is electronic commerce. Public key certification technology may include various sub-technologies such as key recovery, secret sharing, certificate/key management, and directory system technology. This thesis discusses PKI-based certification authority technology for electronic commerce on the Internet.

Wire wireless integrated service of BcN(Broadband convergence Network) is expanding. Information Security issue is highlighted for opposing attack of getting information illegally on wire wireless network. The user of PKI(Public Key Infrastructure) cipher system among Information security technology receives various security services about authentication, confidentiality, integrity, non-repudiation and access control etc. A mobile client and server are loaded certificate and wireless internet cryptography module for trusted data send receive. And data sends receives to each other after certification process through validity check of certificate. Certificate and data security system is researched through PKI on wireless network environment and data security system in this paper.

Certificate-based signature (CBS) combines the advantages of both public key-based signature and identity-based signature, while saving from the disadvantages of drawbacks in both PKS and IBS. The insecure deployment of CBS under the hostile circumstances usually causes the exposure of signing key to be inescapable. To resist the threat of key leakage, we present a pairing-free key insulated CBS scheme by incorporating the idea of key insulated mechanism and CBS. Our scheme eliminates the costly pairing operations and as a matter of fact outperforms the existing key insulated CBS schemes. It is more suitable for low-power devices. Furthermore, the unforgeability of our scheme has been formally proven to rest on the discrete logarithm assumption in the random oracle model.

According to the privacy regulations of the health insurance portability and accountability act (HIPAA), patients' control over electronic health data is one of the major concern issues. Currently, remote access authorization is considered as the best solution to guarantee the patients' control over their health data. In this paper, a new biometric-based key management scheme is proposed to facilitate remote access authorization anytime and anywhere. First, patients and doctors can use their biometric information to verify the authenticity of communication partners through real-time video communication technology. Second, a safety channel is provided in delivering their access authorization and secret data between patient and doctor. In the designed scheme, the user's public key is authenticated by the corresponding biometric information without the help of public key infrastructure (PKI). Therefore, our proposed scheme does not have the costs of certificate storage, certificate delivery, and certificate revocation. In addition, the implementation time of our proposed system can be significantly reduced.

Group key agreement (GKA) is a cryptographic primitive allowing two or more users to negotiate a shared session key over public networks. Wu et al. recently introduced the concept of asymmetric GKA that allows a group of users to negotiate a common public key, while each user only needs to hold his/her respective private key. However, Wu et al.'s protocol can not resist active attacks, such as fabrication. To solve this problem, Zhang et al. proposed an authenticated asymmetric GKA protocol, where each user is authenticated during the negotiation process, so it can resist active attacks. Whereas, Zhang et al.'s protocol needs a partially trusted certificate authority to issue certificates, which brings a heavy certificate management burden. To eliminate such cost, Zhang et al. constructed another protocol in identity-based setting. Unfortunately, it suffers from the so-called key escrow problem. In this paper, we propose the certificateless authenticated asymmetric group key agreement protocol which does not have certificate management burden and key escrow problem. Besides, our protocol achieves known-key security, unknown key-share security, key-compromise impersonation security, and key control security. Our simulation based on the pairing-based cryptography (PBC) library shows that this protocol is efficient and practical.

In this paper. proposes Multi_Kerberos certification mechanism that improve certification service of based on PKINIT that made public in IETF CAT Working Group. This paper proposed to a certificate other realm because search position of outside realm through DNS and apply X.509 directory certification system, to get public key from DNS server by chain (CertPath) between realms by certification and key exchange way that provide service between realms applying X.509, DS/DNS of based on PKINIT, in order to provide regional services. This paper proposed mechanism that support efficient certification service about cross realm including key management. the path generation and construction of Certificate using Validation Server, and recovery of Session Key. A Design of Multi_Kerberos system that have effects simplify of certification formality that reduce procedures on communication.

In this paper, we show that the status certificate-based encryption(SCBE) scheme proposed at ICISC 2004 and the certificateless signature(CLS) scheme proposed at EUC workshops 2006 are insecure. Both schemes are claimed that an adversary has no advantage if it controls only one of two participants making a cryptographic key such as a decryption key in SCBE or a signing key in CLS. But we will show that an adversary considered in the security model of each scheme can generate a valid cryptographic key by replacing the public key of a user.
