SecurityAgentTM
SecurityAgent
(a.k.a. SeSeTM - Security Secretary) is the flagship
product of ISELabTM. It is user-centered authentication
software, which empowers end users with personalizable authentication
management features enabling authenticated channels for a multitude
of businesses and applications on the Internet.
Philosophy: Faithful to Intrinsic Value of Authentication
In order to conduct electronic business in secure way, first overall, authentication mechanism
is required and it is implemented in terms of Public Key Infrastructure (PKI). Most PKI efforts
are trying to play a role of Certificate Authority (CA) as so called "trusted third party" (TTP)
by setting up certificate server issuing public key certificates. However, in the reality, the
human users of PKIs already have been assigned their identifiers in the physical world and
identifiers managed by organizational entities that are considered authoritative for assigning
these identifier to these users -- that is usually a critical party of their business. In such
contexts it is intrinsically desirable for organizational entities to act as CAs, identifying users
in cyberspace in the same fashion as they have identified them in the physical world. In other
words, this implicit form of trust relationship exists between relying parties and these
organizations (companies, families, and clubs etc.) based on long established business or social
relationships, which cannot be replaced by TTP. Rather than to fight for being a big brother
(a.k.a. TTP) to issue intrinsically valueless certificates, we aim to provide easy-to-use tool
to help people faithfully map their relationship in the physical world to cyberspace and use the
tool as a platform to computerized their activities to enjoy efficiency and conveniences
facilitated by today's ubiquitous computing.
Key
Tool: Connecting Human User to Cyberspace
SecurityAgent is personal autonomous software which acts on the behalf
of human users to shift their roles and identities as well as
their business and organizational relationships into to the digital
world, the first step to extend businesses to the electronic
virtual world. It comes with an intuitively perceivable user interface
that is faithfully consistent with the traditional security concepts,
whereby a security environment built on "esoteric" cryptographic
technologies (e.g. encryption, digital signature, and public-key
certificate management) can be gracefully integrated with human users to
conduct business in electronic fashion of the new millennium.
Business Platform: Interfacing Authentication with Applications
SecurityAgent can also be thought as a personal platform to computerize
business activities in the way of being faithful to existing business
logic which is conceptually the most desirable way to conduct business,
yet with great efficiency facilitated by today's ubiquitous computing.
For example, privileges or access rights based on identification
and authentication in the cyberspace can conceptually be defined in the
same way as what they are in the traditional business environment,
whereby privacy and confidentiality of information can be elaborately
controlled and ensured as required, and most importantly, the digital
receipts that prove the transaction or flow of information that
have actually taken place can be provided. This has been critically
important traditionally for business, and it's going to be even more so
as more applications become Internet-based activities.
As a platform, it bridges the electronic authentication infrastructure
(a.k.a. Public Key Infrastructure -- PKI) togather with PKI enabled
applications, effectively and seamlessly!
Main
