Identity-based PKI scheme for machine readable travel document
Fan Zhang, Dengguo Feng · 2006
Certificate-based public key infrastructure (PKI) scheme of International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) has some problems, especially with the distribution of public key. In this paper, we propose an identity-based PKI scheme for machine readable travel document (MRTD). By virtue of simple key management on identity-based signature, our scheme facilitates public key distribution among participating countries, and eliminates the need of a global public key directory (PKD).
