Abstract

We present a concept for Public Key Infrastructure based on certificates that are not understood as a guarantee of Certification Authority for unconditional authenticity of the data contained in the certificate. As liability of CA is a source of cost barrier for widespread use of PKI services, we concentrate on cost-efficient solutions. At the same time we formulate requirements that fill the security gaps of the traditional PKI. We present exemplary technical solutions that witness feasibility of these requirements.
