  5. 5. PKI Trust Models The fundamental purpose of PKI is to represent the trust relationship between participating parties. The verifier verifies the chain of trust. Four models exist: • Subordinate Hierarchy • Cross Certified Mesh • Bridge CA • Trusted List
  6. 6. Subordinate Hierarchy • Two or more CAs in a hierarchical relationship • Good for single enterprise applications • Hard to implement between enterprises
  7. 7. Cross Certified Mesh • Each internal CA signs the other PKI’s public verification keys • Good for dynamically changing enterprise PKI applications • Scalability is a major issue. Need to support n(n-1) cross certifications
  8. 8. Bridge CA • Only the Root CAs participate in the cross certification • Solves the issues with the mesh model
  9. 9. Trusted List • Uses a set of publicly trusted root certificates • Ex: Internet Browsers
  10. 10. Traditional CRLs Relying party checks the certificate against the latest published CRLs Disadvantage: Long CRLs and the number the users directly proportional to the performance of the network.
  11. 11. Modified CRLs • Overissued CRLs • Segmented CRLs • Delta CRLs • Sliding window (overissued delta) CRLs
  12. 12. OCSP Online Certificate Status Protocol • Client – Server model • Client requests status of a certificate • Server sends a signed response back • Advantages • Very small request and response • Disadvantages • All responses need to be signed increasing the load on the server • Clients must be online/connected to check the status
