A Cross Heterogeneous Domain Authentication Model Based on PKI

Abstract

This essay proposes a new cross heterogeneous domain authentication model mainly based on PKI, and designs the details of authentication processes in different situations. The model achieves cross domain authentication between PKI domain and Kerberos domain effectively, and supports mutual authentications. Theoretical analysis shows that the proposed scheme has good compatibility, expansibility and reliability. Therefore, this model is suitable for using in large-scale network environment mainly based on PKI.
