Security architecture and key generation algorithm for distributed routing systems
Jianping Wu · Journal of Tsinghua University(Science and Technology) · 2001
A distributed routing system (DRS) forwards the packets between its routers according to the routing information. The DRS authenticates the routing information and confidentiality of the packets. A public key system is presented to ensure the DRS security because of the success of the public key system in authentication and key management. The RSA key generation uses an enhanced strong method to improve the security. The algorithm is executed separately in a distributed key generator and can ensure the uniqueness of keys by constraints assign to each key.
