Bring your keys and your identity cards so we can sign them ! Abstract: Today communication demand safely sending data (credit card information on a WWW server for example) and ensuring that the information which was sent comes from the right person or authority. This requires tools which will ensure that no data was modified, that they come from the right person, and that noone except the intended recipient can read the data. One way to achieve the above is SSL/TLS, a commonly used network layer which implements security for use by the standard WWW servicing protocol HTTP (HTTP + SSL == HTTPS). Another way is to use a set of encryption software (PGP, or its latest derivate GNU Privacy Guard, GPG). All those are usually based on the concept of Public Key Cryptography. A common problem of all those tools and protocols is the difficulty to assert that a key belongs to the person it seems to come. This leads to the concept of Public Key Infrastructure. We will also show how this works in practice. - Pour poster une annonce: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
