Title
PEACHES and Peers
Abstract
How to distribute resource locators is a fundamental problem in PKI. Our PKI Resource Query Protocol (PRQP), recently presented at IETF, provides a standard method to query for PKI resources locators. However the distribution of locators across PKIs is still an unsolved 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 efficiently 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.
