Abstract:
Cryptographic authentication methodology proposed for use in the Internet require substantial resources when very large client populations are involved. Resource provisioning becomes especially important when time-critical services are involved. In the cast of time- synchronization services, a special case exists, since cryptographic keys must enforce valid lifetimes, but validating key lifetimes requires cryptographic keys. This paper proposes a scheme which minimizes server resources while resolving the apparent circularity.
