AutoPKI: A PKI Resources Discovery System?: The central goal of Public Key Infrastructure PKI is to enable trust judgments between distributed users. Although certificates play a central role in making such judgments, a PKI's users need more than just knowledge of certificates.

Is this Rembrandt a real one?: About a year ago, I told you about how computer scientists from Dartmouth college were investigating digital images. But they're also interested in old paintings authentication, as reports Wired Magazine in The Rembrandt Code. Mathematicians are using high-resolution digital cameras and computers to examine old paintings and evaluate their authenticity....; Tags: Dartmouth College, painting, Perugino; Blog posts 2006-01-01
Greenpass: Decentralized, PKI-Based Authorization for Wireless LANs: In Dartmouth's "Greenpass" project, an experimental system is building to explore two levels of authorization issues in the emerging information infrastructure. On a practical level, the authors want to enable only authorized users to access an internal wireless network - while also permitting appropriate users to delegate internal access to...; Tags: Authorization, LAN, WLAN, Dartmouth College, PKI, Authentication/Encryption, Digital Security, Network Security, Security, Wireless, Networking; White papers 2005-10-28
PorKI: Making User PKI Safe on Machines of Heterogeneous Trustworthiness: As evidenced by the proliferation of phishing attacks and keystroke loggers, everyone knows that human beings are not well-equipped to make trust decisions about when to use their passwords or other personal credentials. Public key cryptography can reduce this risk of attack, because authentication using PKI is designed to not...; Tags: Mobile, Dartmouth College, PKI, Authentication/Encryption, Digital Security, Advertising & Promotion, Phishing, Network Security, Security, Marketing, Spam And Phishing, Networking; White papers 2005-10-28
Woolworths "Chips" Away at Inventory Shrinkage Through RFID Initiative: Dartmouth College's initial challenge for the pilot project was to define a manageable scope in terms of the products, vehicles, stores, and distribution centers to be included. The solutions were bar codes, RFID devices, RFID readers, Global Positioning System GPS, a Wireless Wide Area Network WAN and RFID tags. The...; Tags: Woolworths, Dartmouth College, Chip, RFID, Wireless, Security, Biometrics; Case studies
WebALPS: A Survey of E-Commerce Privacy and Security Applications: Web-based commerce is rife with scenarios where a party needs to trust properties of computation and data storage occurring at a remote machine, operated by a different party with different interests. In the WebALPS project off-the-shelf hardware and open source software is used to build trusted co-servers co-resident with Web...; Tags: Security Application, Privacy, Survey, Dartmouth College, E-business, Web Technology, E-business/E-Commerce, Security, Marketing Research, Internet, Marketing; White papers
