Distributed Delegation Systems

چکیده
In this paper we introduce unconditionally secure distributed delegation systems that allow groups of participants to collectively authorize a delegate to sign a message (construct an authentic message) on their behalf. We propose a model and investigate its properties when delegation is valid for one transmission. The model is extended to multiple delegation and constructions with more economical key exchange are proposed.

An Architecture for Practical Delegation in a Distributed System
Delegation is the process whereby a user in a distributed environment authorizes a system to access remote resources on his behalf. In today’s distributed systems where all the resources required to carry out an operation are rarely local to the system to which the user is logged in, delegation is more often the rule than the exception. Yet, even with the use of state-of-the-art authentication ...
متن کاملPractical delegation for secure distributed object environments
SDM is a secure delegation model for Java-based distributed object environments. SDM extends current Java security features to support secure remote method invocations that may involve chains of delegated calls across distributed objects. The framework supports a control API for application developers to specify mechanisms and security policies surrounding simple or cascaded delegation. Delegat...
متن کاملCorrecting a Delegation Protocol for Grids
Delegation is one important aspect of large-scale distributed systems where many processes and operations run on behalf of system users and clients in order to achieve highly computational and resource intensive tasks. As such, delegation is often synonymous with the concept of trust, in that the delegator would expect some degree of reliability regarding the delegatee’s ability and predictabil...
متن کاملEfficient Verification of Delegation in Distributed Group Membership Management
In ad-hoc networks and other highly distributed and decentralized environments, authorization certificates can be used to control access. Moreover, it is possible to delegate rights listed in the certificate to another users. Several such subsequent delegations build a chain of certificates. Chains of delegation certificates can improve the capability and manageability of systems. Distributed g...
متن کاملDelegation of Obligations
Obligation policies are one main means of exercising control within an organisation. They specify the actions that some subject has to perform. The authority over these actions needs to be specified in authorisation policies. Current policy notations provide us with the needed structure to represent authorisations and obligations as policy objects for distributed systems management. They suppor...
