  1. Wireless PKI Shakeel Ahamad Shaik (Research Fellow) Under the supervision of Dr.V.N.Sastry, Associate Professor (IDRBT) & Dr.S.K.Udgata, Reader (UOH) Wireless PKI

  2. Agenda • Public Key Systems • PKI Functions in Mobile devices • Problems faced in the adoption of PKI in Mobile Environment • Validation of certificate in WPKI Environment • Requirements & Configurations needed for the Implementation of WPKI in mobile payments • Conclusion • References Wireless PKI

  3. Public-Key Systems Public Key Systems Public Key Cryptography (PKC) Personal security environment (PSE) Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) Wireless PKI

  4. Public-Key Systems (Cont….) The main components of a PKI • Certification Authority (CA) is responsible for issuing and revoking certificates for customers public keys. • The Registration Authority (RA) provides a binding between public keys and the entities of their holders. • Repositories store and make available certificate directories and a certificate revocation list (CRL). • Directory service providers. CA’s in India IDRBT, Safescrypt, NIC,TCS,MTNL,GNFC,eMudhraCA Wireless PKI

  5. PKI functions in Mobile Devices • Generation of key-pair (public and private keys) • Receiving & Storing certificate issued by CA • Digital Signature generation and verification • Functions for encryption and decryption • Validating third party certificates Wireless PKI

  6. Challenges in adopting Wired PKI for Mobile Devices • Wireless network has less bandwidth, more latency, insecure connection and device problems such as less powerful CPU, less memory size, restricted battery power, small display and input device. • Mobile phone lacks computing capabilities of PKI services such as key generation, digital signature generation and verification, certificate validation, and Certificate Revocation List (CRL) verification, and memory size of storing certificate and CRL. • Due to less wireless communication bandwidth, processing of CMP (Certificate Management Protocol) for certificate life cycle such as certificate issue in the mobile phone, and downloading CRL required for certificate verification must be a considerable burden. Wireless PKI

  7. Validation of Certificate in WPKI Environment Certificate Validation contains the following steps • Verifying the integrity and authenticity of the certificate by verifying the digital signature of CA on the certificate. • Verifying the validity period of the certificate. • Accessing and examining certificate chain and CRL. The validation is considered successful if all the certificates in the certificate path (i.e. from leaf to the root of the tree) are checked and ensured that none of them have been revoked. This process is heavy on resources and time consuming and it is not suitable for mobile devices. Wireless PKI

  8. Validation of Certificate in WPKI Environment (Cont…) Mechanisms to minimize the Certificate validation process Online Certificate Status Protocol (OCSP) Short Lived Certificate (SLC) Wireless PKI

  9. Validation of Certificate in WPKI Environment (Cont….) OCSP mechanism 4. Requests for CRL 5. Sends CRL 1. Sends URL of certificate (or) Certificate 6. Response of Certificate Validation 3. Delegates certificate Validation of merchant’s Certificate 2. Merchant sends his X.509 Certificate Wireless PKI

  10. Validation of Certificate in WPKI Environment (Cont….) Short-Lived Certificate (SLC) mechanism Certificate: Data: Version: 3 (0x2) Serial Number: 316214 (0x4d336) Signature Algorithm: ecdsa-with-SHA1 Issuer: C=IN, O=IDRBT, OU=CA, CN=CertSIGNECDSA1 Validity Not Before: Apr 17 15:00:00 2010 GMT Not After : Apr 26 14:59:59 2010 GMT Subject: C=IN, O=SBI, OU=CA, CN=test()000021420031112000653 Subject Public Key Info: Public Key Algorithm: id-ecPublicKey 04 04 df e4 6d 84 16 70 1a f3 f4 8e 80 ec ac ac f2 a3 26 b7 e0 60 03 0e 7d 6c ba b9 3e ac 9b eb 85 13 ed 6a b9 75 5c f5 c2 02 b1 Signature Algorithm: ecdsa-with-SHA1 30:2e:02:15:01:3a:07:0f:dc:e4:68:bc:c9:c1:1c:48:68:6b: 1f:99:65:0c:b5:13:55:02:15:03:65:ac:e4:82:c2:30:42:de: ce:f2:49:c5:91:30:c1:90:f3:59:72:5e Wireless PKI

  11. Validation of Certificate in WPKI Environment (Cont….) Short-Lived Certificate (SLC) mechanism • Improved computing & storage resources in mobile devices have made it convenient to generate key pairs & verify digital signatures on mobile devices. • Using SLC mobile clients does not have to implement either CRL or OCSP for server authentication.

  12. Requirements & Configurations needed for the Implementation of WPKI in mobile payments Wireless PKI

  13. Requirements & Configurations needed for the Implementation of WPKI in mobile payments (Cont..) Wireless PKI

  14. Requirements & Configurations needed for the Implementation of WPKI in mobile payments (Cont..) Wireless PKI

  15. Conclusion • Compared to wired PKI Wireless PKI is suitable for low end computing devices such as mobile phones. • Since Mobile payments require high level of security for its transactions which can be ensured by WPKI. • We suggest the existing CA to provide digital certificate to individuals through mobile phones which can be used for mobile payment transactions.
