An Autonomous Decentralized Public Key Infrastructure
Luis Carlos Coronado-García, Carlos Pérez-Leguízamo · 2011
A main goal of a Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) is the management of digital certificates in order to bind public keys with respective user identities assuring the uniqueness of these public keys. A PKI must guarantee the reliability of its services, assuring the timeliness of its responses and the continuity of the service despite of the growth in the number of users and the presence of hardware or software failures. In this paper we propose a model of a PKI based on a Autonomous Decentralized System (ADS) paradigm, which satisfies the requirements described above. As a result of this research, we have implemented such a solution and it provides its services already.
