Cryptography and PKI Basics
White Paper A public key infrastructure (PKI) encompasses the techniques and standards used to manage certificates and public and private keys in order to authenticate the validity of each party involved in an electronic transaction. [24 Feb 2004]
Issues in the Implementation of PKI in UK HE/FE
White Paper PKI integrates public key cryptography, digital certificates and Certificate Authorities with the procedures to create and manage this infrastructure. Public key cryptography, for encryption and digital signatures, involves the use of two keys. [24 Feb 2004]
The Security and Trust Services API (SATSA) for J2ME: The Security APIs
White Paper This paper discusses a lot of information related to security and SATSA - from background on PKI and cryptography, to use-cases, the SATSA APIs and how to use them. Any person who is responsible for designing and developing secure J2ME applications... [06 Nov 2007]
An Introduction to the Windows 2000 Public Key Infrastructure (Dell)
White Paper Public key cryptography offers significant security benefits when it's properly implemented. Like other enabling technologies, public-key cryptography requires an infrastructure to deliver its benefits. [24 Feb 2004]
PKI could leave you out in the cold
News PKI applications - which include cryptography, digital certification processes and the systems that manage them - are at the centre of plans to prepare corporate security for the risks brought in by the Internet. [08 Mar 1999]
Secure M-Commerce With WPKI
White Paper PKI consists of two basic elements: public key cryptography and public key certification practice. This paper gives a brief overview of PKI in general and WPKI in particular. This paper also addresses some shortcomings of WAP and how these problems... [22 Mar 2005]
PKI - A Technology or a Hype Too Far?
White Paper First it is important to distinguish between public key cryptography (as discovered by Rivest, Shamir and Adelman, or Clifford Cocks) and PKI or public key infrastructure. PKI has been getting a lot of bad press of late, but is it justified? [24 Feb 2004]
An Introduction to PKI
White Paper It mentions the features and services used by the PKI and the techniques involved in public key cryptography. This guide provides the reader with a basic introduction to key terms and concepts used in a PKI including Certificates, Keys and... [24 Feb 2004]
A Flexible Role-based Secure Messaging Service: Exploiting IBE Technology in a Health Care Trial
White Paper It illustrates the advantages over a similar approach based on traditional cryptography and PKI. Solutions based on traditional cryptographic systems and PKI show their limitations, in terms of flexibility and manageability. [24 Feb 2004]
MOCA: Mobile Certificate Authority for Wireless Ad Hoc Networks
White Paper It employs threshold cryptography to distribute the CA functionality over specially selected nodes based on the security and the physical characteristics of nodes. PKI has been recognized as one of the most effective tools for providing security... [20 Jul 2007]
PorKI: Making User PKI Safe on Machines of Heterogeneous Trustworthiness
White Paper Public key cryptography can reduce this risk of attack, because authentication using PKI is designed to not give away sensitive data. As evidenced by the proliferation of phishing attacks and keystroke loggers, everyone knows that human beings are... [16 Apr 2008]
Federal Bridge Certification Authority: An Approach to Addressing Inter-Enterprise Public Key Infrastructure and Directory Technology Interoperability
White Paper In response to the growing impetus for the provision of online services and transactions in addition to existing Web-based services, both the federal government and private industry have embraced and are seeking to implement Public Key... [30 Aug 2005]
Using Public Key Cryptography in Mobile Phones
White Paper Public key cryptography is a primary concept in implementing wireless device security. Many papers have been written about public key infrastructure, this paper does not delve into the deeper mechanisms of PKI. [24 Feb 2004]
Distributing Security-Mediated PKI
White Paper Threshold cryptography is used to build a back-up and migration technique which allows recovery from a mediator crashing while also avoiding having all mediators share all secrets. The security-mediated approach to PKI offers several advantages... [16 Apr 2008]
Email encryption guru dabbles with VoIP
News Zimmermann said he added cryptography to it. Setting up and managing PKI can be laborious. Zimmermann's system does not use PKI. Phil Zimmermann hopes that his secure net phone-calling efforts will be as successful as his Pretty Good Privacy (PGP... [27 Jul 2005]
