Abstract:
In distributed Authentication between clients and
servers using public key cryptography approach, both client and
server do not need to maintain keys with Key Distribution
Center (KDC). Maintaining keys at the server may cause the
burden at the server. This paper is intended to present and
develop a system which uses an approach for distributed
authentication using public key cryptography using three main
components: Key Distribution Center(KDC), Ticket Granting
Server( TGS) and Certificate Authority(CA) , for creating tickets
as long lived credential authentication. In this system,
Certificate Authority (CA) will distribute Certification
Revocation Lists(CRL) to all application servers, so it will
significantly reduce the workload at the server(CA) and increase
the performance of the whole system.
