| Abstract: | With the development of E-commerce, many companies have built their own Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) to support various security services. When consolidation or combine of different companies happens, the multiple PKIs deployed by different companies should be reconstructed into a new one. The ordinary ways depend on using cross-certificates, and the complexity of the certificate path construction and validation is still difficult to avoid. Considering the specialties of the context in E-commerce, without using cross-certificates, our paper proposes a practical merging scheme, which is based on hierarchy structure. Making a small change of those existing PKIs, the whole merging process is quick and low-cost. Moreover, compared with using cross- certificates, the path construction is much more efficient and convenient. Additionally, in order to describe clearly, some conceptions used in our scheme are formalized. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
