Abstract

With the widespread use of Internet, Web, and mobile technologies, a new category of applications and transactions that requires anonymity is gaining increased interest and importance. Examples of such new applications are innovative payment systems, digital notaries, electronic voting, documents sharing, electronic auctions, medical applications, and many others. In addition to anonymity, these applications and transactions also require standard security services: identification, authentication, and authorization of users and protection of their transactions. Providing those services in combination with anonymity is an especially challenging issue, because all security services require explicit user identification and authentication. To solve this issue and enable applications with security and also anonymity we introduce a new type of cryptographically encapsulated objects called BIX certificates. “BIX” is an abbreviation for “Blockchain Information Exchange.” Their purpose is equivalent to X.509 certificates: to support security services for users and transactions, but also enhanced with anonymity. This paper describes the structure and attributes of BIX certificate objects and all related protocols for their creation, distribution, and use. The BIX Certification Infrastructure (BCI) as a distributed public ledger is also briefly described.
BIX证书:基于证书公共分类账的匿名交易加密令牌
随着Internet、Web和移动技术的广泛使用,一类要求匿名的新应用程序和交易正获得越来越多的关注和重视。此类新应用程序的示例包括创新的支付系统、数字公证、电子投票、文档共享、电子拍卖、医疗应用程序等。除了匿名之外,这些应用程序和事务还需要标准的安全服务:用户的标识、身份验证和授权以及对其事务的保护。将这些服务与匿名结合起来提供是一个特别具有挑战性的问题,因为所有安全服务都需要显式的用户标识和身份验证。为了解决这个问题并使应用程序具有安全性和匿名性,我们引入了一种称为BIX证书的新型加密封装对象。“BIX”是“区块链信息交换”的缩写。它们的目的相当于X.509证书:支持用户和交易的安全服务,但也增强了匿名性。本文描述了BIX证书对象的结构和属性,以及它们的创建、分发和使用的所有相关协议。本文还简要介绍了BIX认证基础设施(BCI)作为分布式公共分类账。
