CA P2P PEACXHES PKI
Massimiliano Pala and Sean W. Smith
Abstract. How to distribute resource locators is a fundamental prob-
lem in PKI. Our PKI Resource Query Protocol (PRQP), recently pre-
sented at IETF, provides a standard method to query for PKI resources
locators. However the distribution of locators across PKIs is still an un-
solved problem. In this paper, we propose an extension to PRQP in
order to distribute PRQP messages over a Peer-to-Peer (P2P) network.
In this work, we combine PRQP with Distributed Hash Tables (DHTs)
to e?ciently distribute contents over a dynamic P2P overlay network.
In particular we present the PEACH protocol and a PEACH Enabled
System (PEACHES) which are specifically targeted toward solving the
PKI resources discovery problem. Our work enhances interoperability
between existing PKIs and allows for easy configuration of applications,
thus augmenting usability of PKI technology.
