Nowadays, major application of public key certification technology based on PKI(Public Key Infrastructure) is electronic commerce. Public key certification technology may include various sub-technologies such as key recovery, secret sharing, certificate/key management, and directory system technology. This thesis discusses PKI-based certification authority technology for electronic commerce on the Internet.

Many Internet application provide the PKI(public key infrastructure)-based service to provide authentication and message integrity. Several researchers proposed PKI-based p2p network framework. However, in the real world, the use of PKI is not suitable for peer to peer network, because the peer-to-peer network is an open and dynamic network. Moreover, currently there is no nation-to-nation interoperable certificate. In this paper, we designed reliable p2p file sharing application without public key infrastructure. To do this we propose reliable public key distribution mechanism to distribute public key safely without PKI infrastructure for two-tier super-peer architecture. In our system, each peer generates and distributes its public/private key pairs, and the public key is securely distributed without PKI. The proposed mechanism is safe against MITM attack. This mechanism can be applied various P2P applications such as file sharing, IPTV, distributed resource sharing and so on

As computers and networks become popular, distributing information on the Internet is common in our daily life. In the past, e-mail has been the primary choice of exchanging information, but instant messengers are gaining popularity abroad and domestically because of their nature of getting immediate reponses. However a instant messenger services have the exposure of data on internet but clients use them without recognizing their exposure. It's like phone tapping. The coding technology using Public Key Cryptosystem has developed the public key infrastructure to be able to do the services of Access-control, Authentication, Confidentiality, Integrity. and Non-repudiation with internet. It is a thesis that suggests the certification protocol in a instant messenger using PKI(Public Key Infrastructure) for secure communication.

최근 주목할만한 인터넷 보안기술 중 공개키 암호화 시스템을 이용해 향상된 보안수준을 제공하기 위한 기반 기술인 PKI(Public Key Infrastructure)는 각종 전자상거래 제반기술로 작용한다는 점에서 중요성이 부각되고 있다. 이와 더불어 최근 차세대 웹 표준문서 포맷으로 부상되고 있는 XML(extensible Markup Language)은 B2B 문서교환과 데이터 전송 및 검색 부문에서 광범위하게 활용됨으로써, XML문서에 대한 보안 및 XML을 활용한 PKI 기술적용을 위한 표준화 작업 또한 활발히 연구되고 있다. 그 결과 Microsoft, Verisign 그리고 Webmethods가 주축이 되어 XML기반 파세대 PKI기술인 XKMS(Xml Key Management Specification)를 개발하였으며, XKMS 표준화 작업에 그 외 다수의 주력업체들이 참여하고 있다. 이에 본 논문에서는 XKMS의 표준화를 진행중인 표준화 단체의 동향을 파악하고, PKI의 전반적인 기술 및 XKMS 기술의 내부적인 구조를 분석한다.

The two factor authentication capability, private key possession and key protection password knowledge, and the strong public key cryptography protocol of PKI authentication have largely contributed to the rapid construction of Internet transaction trusted infrastructure. The reusability of a certificate-based identity for every PKI site was another contribution factor of the spread of PKI authentication. Nevertheless, the PKI authentication has been criticised mainly for the cost of PKI construction, inconvenience of individual certificate management, and difficulties of password management. Recently FIDO authentication has received high attention as an alternative of the PKI authentication. The FIDO authentication is also based on the public key cryptography which provides strong authentication services, but it does not require individual certificate issuance and provides user-friendly and secure authentication services by integrating biometric technologies. The purpose of this paper is to concretely compare the PKI-authentication and FIDO-authentication and, based on the analysis result, to propose their corresponding applications.

A Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) is security standards to manage and use public key cryptosystem. A PKI is used to provide digital signature, authentication, public key encryption functionality on insecure channel, such as E-banking and E-commerce on Internet. A soft-token private key in PKI is leaked easily because it is stored in a file at standardized location. Also it is vulnerable to a brute-force password attack as is protected by password-based encryption. In this paper, we proposed a new method that detects private key compromise and is probabilistically secure against a brute-force password attack though soft-token private key is leaked. The main idea of the proposed method is to use a genuine signature key pair and (n-1) fake signature key pairs to make an attacker difficult to generate a valid signature with probability 1/n even if the attacker found the correct password. The proposed method provides detection and notification functionality when an attacker make an attempt at authentication, and enhances the security of soft-token private key without the additional cost of construction of infrastructure thereby extending the function of the existing PKI and SSL/TLS.

In this paper, we design and implement the public key certification the structure of assure information security which play an important role in PKI (Public Key Infrastructure). The structure of assure information security consists of Root-CA, Home-network and Foreign-network. CA will going to gave the mandate to Home-Agent or Foreign-Agent when they request. The structure of assure information security is various characteristic : more then high speed, mobile network, and low cost more then previous structure of assure information security.

In the field of secure information systems including electronic commerces, public key infrastructure(PKI) is widely used for secure services. The more PKI domains are established, the more needs are required for cross-domain certifications. Furthermore, each country has many certificate authorities(CA) which require more complex cross certification: We may need a fast algorithm in order to find the possible certification paths. This will be more indispensible in the growing PKI systems. We designed and implemented the high-speed certification path discovery algorithm. Also, we investigated the feature of operation of the system.

In this paper, we design an authentication model based mobile PKI (Public Key Infrastructure). The authentication mood consists of Root-CA Home-network agent and Foreign-network agent. CA will going to gave the delegation ticket to Home-Agent or Foreign-Agent when they request. The authentication mode information security is various characteristic more then high speed, mobile network and low cost more then previous structure of assure information security.
