Abstract

To perform the certificate validation on the user-side application induces the very considerable overhead on the user-side system because of the complex and time-consuming characteristic of the validation processing. Most of the time spend for performing the validation processing is required for the digital signature verification, since the verification accompanies with the cryptographic calculation over each certificate on the certificate path. In this paper, we propose a new certificate validation scheme using DSVP(Delegated Signature Validation Protocol) which can reduce the overhead for the user-side certificate validation processing. It is achieved by delegating the digital signature verification to CAs of the PKI domain. As the proposed DSVP is the protocol performed between a user and CAs, it is applied to the hierarchical PKI efficiently and used for delegating the digital signature verification reliably and safely, our proposed scheme can not only reduces the overhead for the validation processing by decreasing the cryptographic calculation but also improves the utilization of CAs by employing them to the validation processing.
