Abstract

CONFIDENTIALITY, INTEGRITY, and AVAILABILITY are the three faces of information security. These goals can all be achieved by use of cryptography. This paper will discuss:

  1. 1.

    Initial authentication of user and host using:

  1. (a)

    asymmetric ciphers; or

  2. (b)

    symmetric ciphers.

  3. 2.

    Exchange of cryptographic keys for:

  1. (a)

    privacy transformation; and

  2. (b)

    message authentication.

  3. 3.

    Continuous re-authentication to:

  1. (a)

    test user and host presence; and

  2. (b)

    assure channel integrity.

  3. 4.

    Implementation in all comunication modes:

  1. (a)

    two-party (one-to-one);

  2. (b)

    broadcast (one-to-many); and

  3. (c)

    conference (many-to-many).

The existance of umpires, network security officers or certificating authorities (CA) is not presumed, nor is it ruled out.
