Abstract

We present architecture for e-business applications that receive requests from a party over the Net, to allow the applications to make decisions relying on the credentials of the requesting party. Relying party applications will be provided with uniform interface to the credentials of the requesting party. This will allow use of simple, widely available credentials as well as more advanced credentials such as public key certificates, attribute certificates and 'Negative' credentials such as certificate revocation lists (CRL). The core of the architecture is a Credential Manager who will provide all credential management functions, including collection of credentials, providing uniform interface to credentials, and extracting semantics relevant to the relying party's applications.
