一种基于Agent的PKI体系

A Type of Agent-Based PKI

利用公钥基础设施来解决网络通信中的安全问题日渐普及,但是目前的PKI(PublicKeyInfrastructure)体系有几个比较明显的缺陷。针对该问题,文章提出了一种新的基于Agent技术的PKI体系,它能通过Agent之间的相互交流动态的建立起一个认证体系,这和传统PKI的静态结构相比有相当大的优势,但是它也能运用在现有的PKI体系上。文章论述了基于Agent的PKI体系的特点并给出了一个实现的原型。

It becomes more and more popular to settle information security problem with PKI(Public Key Infrastructure)on network,but there are some defects in current PKI solution.For this reason a new PKI based agent technology is presented so that an authentication system could be created dynamically by interaction of agents in this Infrastructure.The advantage of Agent-Based PKI is obvious compared with traditional PKI and Agent-Based PKI does not exclude it also.In this paper the characteristics and a prototype of Agent-Based PKI are introduced.
