Abstract |
|
The X.509 Public Key Infrastructure is centralized, weighing trust on single entity - Certificate Authority. A decentralized public key infrastructure for issuing SSL certificates is needed to overcome the flaws in the current X.509 PKI, which can help remove a single point of failure and in early detection of rogue certificates. Certificates will be signed by making a transaction. Domain owner will put up certificate along with signatures by trusted entities on their server, and clients will verify the integrity of this certificate that they receive by querying the smart contract on block chain. |
