摘要

The trust and verification schemes among certificate authorities (CAs) are becoming increasingly urgent. According to the compatible application problems of digital certificate in multi-CA environment, an optimized cross-certification model based on certificate trust lists is proposed in this paper, and its system architecture is designed. The analyses show that the aims of simplifying application, managing efficiently and enhancing efficiency can all be achieved through this optimized model.
