A Solution to Open Standard of PKI

摘要

PKI (Public Key Infrastructure) is fundamental for many security applications on the network. However, there are so many different kinds of PKI at current stage and they are not compatible. To solve the problem, we propose to implement the authority of authentication verification service systems as personal autonomous software agents, called security agents. In this paper, we introduce its concept and architecture, as well as its communication language, which is needed for public key management and secure communications among security agents and application agents.
