The X.509 Public Key Infrastructure contains many services such as Registration Authorities, Time Stamping Authorities and Certification Authorities, that increases its complexity, redundancy and difficulties of implementation for a digital certification. Notary Based Public Key Infrastructure (NBPKI) is a model that eliminates the redundant processes, complexity and brings many facilities for the authentication processes. This work describes the use of NBPKI model combined with a Credentials Translation Service to improve the Shibboleth Authentication Process.
