An Internetwork Authentication Architecture
Abstract
Current internet works do not have effective host-to-host authentication mechanisms. The lack of these mechanisms contributes substantially to currently widespread network security problems. Public key authentication is a good approach to providing optional authentication in internet works. An internet work authentication architecture using public key authentication technology is proposed as a possible mechanism to substantially improve the security of large internet works. Limitations of the proposed authentication architecture are also described.... Network, Authentication, Security, Digital signature, Internet
