This paper proposes a two-phase server login authentication system by XML-Signature schema extension to protect server's information resources opened on network which offer various web contents. A proposed system requests and publishes XML-based certificate through on-line, registers certificate extension information provided by CA(Certification Authority) to XCMS(XML Certificate Management Server), and performs prior authentication using user's certificate password. Then, it requests certificate extension information added by user besides user's certificate password and certificate extension information registered in XCMS by using SOAP message, and performs posterior authentication by comparing these certificate extension information. As a result, a proposed system is a security reinforced system compared with existing systems.

현재 인증서의 상태 검증을 실시간으로 제공하기 위해 각 CA(Certificate Authority)들은 고전적 방법인 CRL(Certificate Revocation List) 배포보다는 OCSP(Online Certificate Status Protocol)을 통하여 인증서의 상태에 대한 정보를 실시간으로 제공한다. 그러나, 경로검증 및 인증서 정책 맵핑 및 정책검증과 인증서 상태검증을 제공하는 SCVP(Simple Certificate Validation Protocol)는 CRL을 사용하는 한계로 인하여 실시간 검증을 제공하지 못하고 있다. 또한 OCSP는 인증서의 실시간 상태검증만을 제공할 뿐, 인증서의 경로검증과 인증서 정책 맵핑 및 정책검증에 대한 서비스는 제공하지 못하고 있다. 따라서, 이러한 두 프로토콜의 단점을 보안하고, 인증서 검증서버가 제공해야 하는 모든 서비스를 제공하기 위해 OCSP와 SCVP의 연동방안에 대한 연구를 통하여 SCVP에서의 실시간 검증을 제공할 수 있도록 한다.

As the fixed mobile communication tools using the internet are developed, the off-line services are serviced through on-line on the internet. our society is divided into the real world and the cyber world. In the cyber world, the authentication to the user is absolutely required. The authentication is divided into the real-name authentication and the anonymous authentication by the kind of the internet service provider. There are some ISPs needed the real-name authentication and there are others ISPs needed the anonymity authentication. The research about the anonymity authentication is steadily established to these days. In this paper, we analyze the problem about blind signature, group signature, ring signature, and traceable signature. And we propose a method of anonymity authentication using the public certificate. In the proposal, the anonymity certificate have the new structure and management. Certificate Authority issues several anonymity certificates to a user through the real-name authentication. Several anonymity certificates give non-linked and non-traceability to the attacker.

To perform the certificate validation processing on the user-side application induces the very considerable overhead because of the complex and time-consuming characteristic of the validation processing. Especially, the verification for digital signature over a certificate can be the major reason of the overhead, since the verification accompanies with the cryptographic calculation over each certificate on the certificate path. In this paper, we propose a new certificate validation scheme can reduce the overhead caused by user-side certificate validation processing and improve the utilization of CAs. As the result, our proposed scheme can not only reduces the overhead for the validation processing by decreasing the cryptographic calculation but also improves the utilization of CAs by employing them to the validation processing.

A certificate is expected to use for its entire validity period. However, a false information record of user and compromise of private key may cause a certificate to become invalid prior to the expiration of the validity period. The CA needs to revoke the certificate. The CA periodically updates a signed data structure called a certificate revocation list(CRL) at directory server. but as CA updates a new CRL at directory server. the user can use a revoked certificate. Not only does this paper analyzes a structure of CRL and a characteristic of certificate status conviction, OCSP method but also it proposes a new certificate status verification method adding an observer information in handshake process between user and server.

We have experienced tremendous growth in commercial use of Internet especially in the last couple of years, and the rate of growth does not appear to be slowing down. As the Internet becomes a dominant platform for electronic commerce, all involved parties of electronic commerce are concerned about security of transactions. Various technologies are adopted to enhance the security of business transactions. This paper briefly discusses certificate technology and a way to minimize the business risk of certificate authority in a form of system requirements of CMS(Certificate Management System).

Deleting unsolicited email, popularly known as spam mail, is an annoying task for Internet users. Moreover, spam mail causes a variety of social problems. At present, legal restrictions cannot eradicate spam senders. As a result, many technical methods to eliminate spam mail such as spam filtering and online stamps have been introduced. However, the process of blocking spam mail can inadvertently result in suspension of indispensable or beneficial communication. In this paper, we propose a certificate and agent based emailing architecture that can block spam mail, while at the same time approve certified mail. This architecture can be accelerated by synergistic utilization of digital signature and electronic document interchange.

Certification is the process of issuing a certificate to indicate conformance with a standard, a set of guidelines or some similar document. Any organization or individual may issue a certificate. In some cases a certificate may be required for legal reason. In such circumstance the certificate takes on the role of a licence from a statutory authority. In railway industry safety has always been the first concern. To achieve certification, specific safety management is required. In this paper, different types of safety management process through out the world are mentioned, and safety management structure appropriate to our circumstance is represented.

PKI(Public key Infrastructure)기반에서 CA(Certificate Authority)는 사용자를 인증하기 위해서 인증서를 생성하고, 인증서의 상태를 검증하기위해서 CRL(Certificate Revocation List)를 발행하여 인증서 취소 상태를 확인하도록 한다. CRL을 사용할 경우 사용자의 증가로 인하여 CRL의 크기가 증가 함으로써 많은 부담과 실시간 처리가 어렵다. 이와 같은 단점을 보안하기 위해서 최근에는 실시간 처리가 가능한 OCSP(Online Certificate Status Protocol)방법이 제안되었지만 이 또한 사용자의 급증으로 하나의 OCSP 서버에 집중화 됨으로써 OCSP 서버의 부하가 많이 생긴다. 본 논문에서는 집중 OCSP 서버에서 생기는 부하를 줄이기 위해 여러 개의 OCSP 서버를 두고, 각 OCSP 서버의 응답 처리 시간을 빠르게 하기 위해서 CA가 실시간으로 인증서 취소 정보를 해당 OCSP 서버에게 분배하여 전달하고 Front Server를 둠으로써 각 OCSP의 Load를 모니터링하여 부하가 적게 걸린 OCSP에게 인증서 상태 검증을 함으로써 신뢰성과 각 OCSP 서버의 부하를 줄이는 방안을 제시한다.
