Abstract
This paper introduces the semantic of Multiparty Joint Authentication (MJA) into the authentication service, which is to find simplified or optimal authentication solutions for all involved principals as a whole instead of to authenticate each pair of principals in turn. MJA is designed to support multiparty security contexts in grids with a specified, understood level of confidence and reduce the time cost of mutual authentications. Graph theory model is employed to define MJA, and analyze its mathematical properties. Two algorithms to find an n-principal, n-order MJA solution are also presented and proved.
