On the Design and Implementation of a Secure Time-Stamping Service

چکیده
As the Internet grows in scale almost every year, security measures are expected to become all the more important on the Internet. A Time-stamping authority (TSA) is a trusted authority which provides a proof that a datum existed before a particular time. In this research, we implemented a RFC-3161 compliant time-stamping service over the Internet. The TSA server software was implemented on Linux platform using C language while the TSA client software was implemented on Windows platform using C++Builder tool. Our TSA server is also equipped with an USB reader and an off-the-shelf smart card to store and retrieve private key of the TSA.

Optimally Efficient Accountable Time-Stamping
Efficient secure time-stamping schemes employ a 2-level approach in which the time-stamping service operates in rounds. We say that a time-stamping service is accountable if if it makes the TSA and other authorities accountable for their actions by enabling a principal to detect and later prove to a judge any frauds, including attempts to reorder time-stamps from the same round. We investigate ...

In this paper the design and implementation of fault tolerable architecture for scientific workflow engines is presented. The engines are assumed to be implemented as composite web services. Current architectures for workflow engines do not make any considerations for substituting faulty web services with correct ones at run time. The difficulty is to rollback the execution state of the workflo...
