Greenpass: Decentralized, PKI-Based Authorization for Wireless LANs
Overview In Dartmouth's "Greenpass" project, an experimental system is building to explore two levels of authorization issues in the emerging information infrastructure. On a practical level, the authors want to enable only authorized users to access an internal wireless network - while also permitting appropriate users to delegate internal access to external guests, and doing this all with standard client software. On a deeper level, PKI needs to be part of this emerging information infrastructure - since sharing secrets is not workable. However, the traditional approach to PKI - with a centralized hierarchy based on global names and heavy-weight X.509 certificates - has often proved cumbersome.
