Abstract

In this paper we outline (apparently) the first globally scalable, post quantum secure, symmetric method of Identity Management (IdM) and Cryptographic Key Management (CKM) that is secure against a collusion of up to m-1 participating service providers. Our proposal is made in response to the U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) 2009 call [4] for new high-availability IdM/CKM designs that do NOT use public key technologies. Our efficiently realisable proposal addresses this and many other requirements identified by NIST managers.
