CA 2313328

An authentication system with an ability to effectively implement a system for providing short-lived certificates is described. A key distribution center (KDC) (116) generates and stores public private key pairs and certificate templates. A user is assigned a user public private key pair which is stored in the KDC (116). A user (114) who authenticates to the KDC (e.g. using a password according to, e.g., a kerberos system) prompts the system to recertify the user's public key by generating and signing a short-lived certificate.

Cette invention a trait à un système d'authentification à même de mettre en oeuvre de manière effective un système destiné à produire des certificats de courte durée. Un centre de distribution de clés (KDC) (116) produit et mémorise des paires de clés publiques-privées ainsi que des modèles de certificats. L'utilisateur se voit attribuer une paire de clés publiques-privées mémorisées dans le KDC (116). L'utilisateur (114), qui se fait reconnaître par le KDC (par exemple en utilisant un mot de passe, un système Cerbère notamment), amène le système à re-certifier la clé publique par production et signature d'un certificat de courte durée.
