Orthus authentication protocol: Background services
Dean Rogers · 2016
This paper discusses background security supporting services compatible with computer systems protected by the Orthus authentication protocol. A secure password change protocol for Orthus along with implications for User session duration time-outs and long running services is also outlined. Reference is given to the protocols adaptation to encompass spontaneous randomly generated elements by the use of hard or possibly software Tokens when combined with the static User defined password element. Further, a unique method of Identity Management based on Version 4 generated UUID, and a secure storage and retrieval scheme for Orthus keys are also described. Additionally discussion is given to an authorisation system which integrates with Orthus thus helping to provide a complete security system.
