Apple Computer Inc. The control of user access through secret passwords and centralized authentication databases dates back to early timeshare systems. However, this strategy is no longer scaleable or secure enough for today's highly distributed, Internet based services. PGPticket, a lightweight but very secure authorization protocol based on the SPKI and OpenPGP standards is designed to control access of services over a public network. PGPticket grants and transfers user access privileges through authorization certificates signed with strong public key cryptography. Slides and an internet draft are available.
