PKI White Papers
Issues of Trust in Digital Signature Certificates
Overview Trust is an increasingly important concept on the Internet, especially for Electronic Commerce. There are a number of trust-models on the Internet providing authentication which attempt to achieve the maximum of trust with minimum of risks. These include: X.509 standard Public Key Infrastructure (PKI), other PKI such as Pretty Good Privacy (PGP), the Simple Public Key Infrastructure (SPKI) and a Simple Distributed Secure Infrastructure (SDSI). These models use public key encryption techniques, certificates, and digital signatures. A certificate is used as a trust-token between different parties on the Internet to tell others you are really who you say you are. This work is a survey of different existing trusted models, their certificates, their structures, ways of handling transitivity of trust and Certificate Revocation Lists (CRL).
