Certificate-Based Authentication Using Hardware Cryptographic Devices

  • Conference paper
Image Processing and Communications Challenges 3

Part of the book series: Advances in Intelligent and Soft Computing ((AINSC,volume 102))

Summary

The paper gives an introduction to certificates as authentication mediums and their security storages. An appropriate cryptographic background is also stated. A scenario for using certificates and their security storages is presented. The scenario was practically implemented. The main goal is a detailed description of an authentication process held in a web environment. Certificates with matching private keys and hardware cryptographic devices are involved in the authentication process. The description is mainly aimed at certificates, hardware cryptographic devices and their usage in significant parts of a secured connection establishment.
