SS-DPKI: Self-Signed Certificate Based Decentralized Public Key Infrastructure for Secure Communication
Yeonsung Chu, Jae Min Kim, YoonJick Lee, SungHoon Shim, Junho Huh · 2020
Currently, the most commonly used scheme for identity authentication on the Internet is based on asymmetric cryptography and the use of a centralized model. The centralized model needs a Certificate Authority (CA) as a trusted third party and a trust chain of CA. However, CA-based PKI is weak in the single point of failure and certificate transparency. Our system, called SS-DPKI, propose a public and decentralized PKI system model. We describe a detailed scheme as well as application to use decentralized PKI based secure communication. Our proposal prevents storage overhead on the data size of transactions and provide reasonable certificate verification time.
