An Efficient Inter-Enterprise Authentication Scheme for VE Based on the Elliptic Curve Cryptosystem
In order to meet the special requirements of virtual enterprises (VE)
this paper proposed an efficient generalized inter-enterprise authentication scheme.The scheme employed the elliptic curve threshold signature algorithm and the variable multi-party protocols to realize efficient cross certifications between VE partners through a virtual bridge CA.Analysis shows that the proposed scheme can provide a flexible distributed trust policy for VE
and has the advantages of low computation and communication cost
high bit-security
short certificate-chains
and adaptability to various structures of VE
so it can better satisfy the special requirements of inter-enterprise authentication in VE
especially when the computation and communication resource is constrained.
