Role Sharing in Password-Enabled PKI

Overview Password-enabled PKI schemes simplify the management of end users' private keys by storing them in password-protected form on a centralized on-line server. Under such schemes an end user needs only remember his password and can access his private key from anywhere the centralized server is available. Existing password-enabled PKI schemes are based on the single-user model where a private key is owned by one user. This paper presents mechanisms to support role sharing in password-enabled PKI. In these schemes, using passwords only, a group of users share the privileges of a role through sharing the private key of that role. A hybrid password-enabled PKI scheme is developed, which supports both easy password change and misuse monitoring.
