Patent

CA 2478153

An authentication method for linked data is provided, which does away with the conventional requirement for secure authentication of every item of data using public key encryption or Message Access Codes. A subscriber to an indexed event announcement channel can access a first item of information which contains pointers to other items of information in which the user might be interested. A hash value of the pointed-to information is also provided in addition to the pointers themselves. In order to provide for authentication of the pointed-to information, the user authenticates the first item of information using a secure heavyweight authentication technique, and then uses the hash values of the pointed-to information contained in the first item of information to authenticate the pointed-to information when the user accesses it.

L'invention porte sur un procédé d'authentification de données liées qui se passe des exigences conventionnelles d'authentification sécurisée de chaque article de données au moyen de la cryptographie à clef publique ou de codes d'accès au message. Un abonné à un canal d'annonce d'événement indexé peut avoir accès au premier article d'informations qui contient des hyperliens vers d'autres articles d'informations susceptibles d'intéresser l'utilisateur. Une valeur de hachage des informations indiquées vient s'ajouter aux hyperliens. Afin de permettre l'authentification des informations indiquées, l'utilisateur authentifie le premier article d'informations au moyen d'une technique d'authentification lourde sécurisée, puis utilise les valeurs de hachage des informations indiquées contenues dans le premier article d'informations afin d'authentifier les informations indiquées lorsque l'utilisateur y accède.
