E-wallet Software Architecture with Decentralized Credentials
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper reports on results from a Master thesis project undertaken to develop software architecture for decentralized credentials, a generalization of the concept of an electronic wallet system developed in the European research project CAFÉ [1]. Within this new model you can leave most of the content of your electronic wallet (credentials, keys and passwords) at the security of your residential keeper, while roaming with your favourite mobile terminals. The main aim for this work has been to design a software architecture based on PersonalJava [2] (portable code) with emerging web technology through the Apache project and SOAP, the new RPC paradigm based on XML (portable data) for web services. The experiments were carried out using WLAN and demonstrating that the SOAP protocol shows a great feasibility to implement this architecture for real e-commerce websites compared to other middleware options (RMI, CORBA). Finally, an authentication protocol developed in a parallel thesis work [3] was implemented in the software architecture.

متن کاملData-Minimizing Authentication Goes Mobile
Authentication is a prerequisite for proper access control to many e-services. Often, it is carried out by identifying the user, while generally, verification of certified attributes would suffice. Even worse, this kind of authentication makes all the user’s transactions linkable and discloses an excessive amount of personal information, and thus erodes the user’s privacy. This is in clear cont...

Personal documents and certificates that are not transferable between individuals are common and essential means in every day life, e.g., driver’s licenses, insurance certificates, etc. At the same time, personal documents are privacy critical as they tend to fully identify their owners, e.g., photo, address, etc. We are interested in personal offline credentials, i.e., secure, non-transferable...
