Research On Unite Authentication For Multi-type Domains On Active Networks

The research of authentication for the multi-type domains is very popular nowadays. With much secure influence placed on the authentication for authorized users of active networks who have more access capability than the ones of traditional networks, the authentication between them is of great significance.This paper makes a systematical research on the requirement of authentication of multi-type domains on active networks. A simulation system under windows is proposed in this paper after sufficiently exploring the active network's security architecture and implement method. Then we also analyze the PKI system of certificate-based and id-based authentications, and then present a unite authentication model based on XML Web Service that can accomplish authentication between them. We establish the simulation system of the model and make some analysis and tests.The main contributions of this dissertation are as follows:1. This paper combines ID-based authentication with XML, which technique is mature and widely used. Realize the encryption and decryption of XML programming based on ID-PKC in our experimental platform, which indicates the practicability and developing potential.2. Bring forward the unite authentication based on XML Web Service platform and realize the unite authentication model between Cert-PKI and ID-PKC. The analyzing and testing prove the model secure and stable. What's more, the model has good expansibility which can make several authentication types domains mutual easily.
