An Identity-Based Authentication Model for Multi-Domain
Hua Peng · Chinese Journal of Computers · 2006
In this paper, the authors considers the especial requirements of the authentication model in multi-domain environments. He analyzes the problems of existing authentication frameworks, and proposes an identity-based authentication model for multi-domain. The model is based on identity-based public key cryptography, so as to overcome some problems posed by traditional authentication model based on PKI. Moreover, entity authentication for cross-domain and anonymity for subject is supported in the model. Especially, by using the modular approach under the CK-model, the security of entity authentication and anonymity is analyzed. It is showed that the proposed model is secure and could achieve the security requirements.
