Information systems, which support information security functions such as CALS and EC systems, should have cryptographic functions for information in order to storage and communicate securely. Additionally, including recovery of lost keys, lots of cryptographic keys should be securely managed. In this paper, we present some results of development of a key recovery system for recovery of encrypted data. The proposed system, in a type of key encapsulation approach, confirms to NIST's RKRP(Requirements for Key Recovery Products) that is a defecto international key recovery standard, as well as CC 2.0 that is a international security evaluation criteria. A message sender secretly choices two or more key recovery agents from a pool of key recovery agents. The key recovery information is generated by using the recovering key, random keys and public keys of the chosen agents. A message receiver can not know which key recovery agents are involved in his key recovery service. We have developed two versions of prototype of key recovery system such as C/Unix and Java/NT versions. Our systems can be used for recovery of communicating informations as well as storing informations, and as a new security service solution for electronic commerce service infrastructures.

The encryption of a file on a PC before saving can maintain security of the file. However, if the key for the encrypted file is lost or damaged, the encrypted file can not be decrypted, resulting in serious economical loss to the user or the user group. In order to minimize the economical loss a secure and reliable key recovery technology is required. Presented in this paper is the development and evaluation of PKRS (PC based Key Recovery System) which supports encryption and decryption of file and recovery of the encrypted file in emergency. The encapsulating method, which attaches key recovery information to encrypted file, is applied to the PKRS. In addition, the PKRS is developed and evaluated according to the requirements of Requirements for Key Recovery Products proposed by NIST and requirements of Common Criteria 2.0 to prove the safety and reliability of the information security system. This system is applicable to a PC and can be further extended to internet or intranet environment information system where in encryption and recovery of file is possible.

IPSec is a security protocol suite that provides encryption and authentication services for IP messages at the network layer of the Internet. Key recovery has been the subject of a lot of discussion, of much controversy and of extensive research. Key recovery, however, might be needed at a corporate level, as a from of key management. The basic observation of the present paper is that cryptographic solutions that have been proposed so far completely ignore the communication context. Static systems are put forward fur key recovery at network layer and solutions that require connections with a server are proposed at application layer. We propose example to provide key recovery capability by adding key recovery information to an IP datagram. It is possible to take advantage of the communication environment in order to design key recovery protocols that are better suited and more efficient.

When a receiver of ciphertext message can not decrypt a message because he has lost his private-key, the private-key of receiver and session-key of the message should be recovered. In this paper, we developed an Encapsulation based Key Recovery System (EKRS). EKRS is a new key encapsulation based key recovery system which is characterized by secretly choice of KRA, randomized target keys. n-way recovery type, and useful for commercial key recovery. EKRS is formally specified by a pictorial model, an Extended Cryptographic Timed Petri Net (ECTPN). Secure information flow and reachability of a session-key are verified by using reachability graph of ECTPN. EKRS, executing over a Public Key Infrastructure, can be used as a security solution in Web based applications such as CALS, EC an EDI.

As Mobile Internet gets more popular, the switchover of E-Commerce to M-Commerce gets faster and many service providers offer diverse M-Commerce service by using mobile technology. Also, as M-Commerce makes rapid progress, the security protocol gets more widely recognized for its significance. In particular, WAKE(Wireless Authentication and Key Establishment) protocol carried out wirelessly is of great importance, since the user and service provider must get through to carry out the M-Commerce. Key recovery method is a part of the key management in order to provide an emergency recovery of key whenever necessary, like when the user lost the key or the cryptosystem was illegally used. The ASPeCT project first tried to support the key recovery function in WAKE Protocol Since then, a variety of WAKE Key Recovery protocols have been proposed. In this thesis, problems of WAKE Key Recovery protocols proposed so far are analyzed and new WAKE Key Recovery protocol is suggested to solve those problems.

In this paper, we will introduce a design of key recovery based on XML can be used in B2B environment. XML Digital Signature and XML Encryption that are defied recently as standards by W3C(World Wide Web Consortium) are deployed to sign/verify or encrypt/decrypt documents for electronic commerce and keys to store/load at/from key recovery server. The result of signature or encryption is always an XML document and all messages used in this key recovery system are also XML documents. It enables to adapt transparently this key recovery system to legacy XML applications and electronic commerce platforms based on XML. And its method for key recovery is key escrow. One of the characteristics of this key recovery is that one enterprise can recover keys of some documents for electronic commerce from external key recovery system in other enterprises related with them and also recover keys from owns.

As Electronic Commerce is getting larger, the volume of Internet-based commerce by enterprise is also getting larger. This phenomenon applies to Internet EDI, Global Internet Business, and CALS information services. In this paper, a new type of cryptographic key recovery mechanism satisfying requirements of business environment is proposed. It is also applied to enterprise information infrastructure for managing employees' task related to handling official properties of electronic enterprise documents exchange. This technology needs to be complied to information management policy of a certain enterprise environment because behavior of cryptographic key recovery can cause interruption of the employees' privacy. However, the cryptographic key recovery mechanism is able to applied to any kind of information service, the application areas of key recovery technology must be seriously considered as not disturbing user's privacy It will depend on the policy of enterprise information management of a specific company.

This paper has presented three types of key recovery methods, which are known as key escrow, key encapsulation, and trusted third party scheme. we have analyzed the existing key recovery products, which have been developed by the advanced nations for electronic commerce and electronic government. we have also analyzed the key recovery policies proposed by the advanced nations, such as The United States of America, Great Britain, and Japan. In this paper, several key recovery policies are proposed for the e-commerce and e-government system. And we have proposed key recovery scheme for the e-commerce system utilizing the on-line secret sharing scheme based on the Internet and public bulletin board.
