A Smart Card Solution for Access Control and Trust Management for Nomadic Users
نویسندگان
چکیده
Increasing efforts are placed on security solutions for nomadic users. Solutions based on smart cards offer physical and logical portability, robustness, low cost, and high security. Nevertheless, such solutions concentrate only on offering the cryptographical capabilities of the smart card, together with key and user certificate storage. Advanced trust management and access control are not addressed. In this article, we propose a scheme to include trust management and attribute certificates for authorization in two widely used cryptographic APIs: Microsoft CryptoAPI and RSA labs PKCS#11.

In emerging ubiquitous computing, related nomadic users often perform similar tasks and share the same computing infrastructure. This means that security of the shared resources is of prime importance. Frequent delegation of tasks among users must be anticipated as most nomadic environments are hectic and very dynamic. A delegation mechanism with a slightly complicated user interface will not o...

The introduction of smart cards into trusted architectures establishes a clear-cut separation between the roles and responsibilities of both platform and user. On one hand, the Trusted Platform Module (TPM) ensures the platform trustworthiness and secures platform credentials and secrets, while smart cards guarantee user identity and protect user credentials and access authorization. Starting f...
