Authentication Procedures

 

X.509 includes three alternative authentication procedures:

 

o   One-Way Authentication

o   Two-Way Authentication

o   Three-Way Authentication

o   all use public-key signatures

 

One-Way Authentication

 

o   1 message ( A->B) used to establish

o   the identity of A and that message is from A

o   message was intended for B

o   integrity & originality of message

o   message must include timestamp, nonce, B's identity and is signed by A

 

Two-Way Authentication

 

1.     2 messages (A->B, B->A) which also establishes in addition:

a.     the identity of B and that reply is from B

 

b.     that reply is intended for A

c.      integrity & originality of reply

2.     reply includes original nonce from A, also timestamp and nonce from B

 

Three-Way Authentication

 

o   3 messages (A->B, B->A, A->B) which enables above authentication without synchronized clocks

 

o   has reply from A back to B containing signed copy of nonce from B

 

o   means that timestamps need not be checked or relied upo
