Securing Critical Unattended Systems with Identity Based Cryptography - A Case Study

摘要: Unattended systems are key ingredients of various critical infrastruc-tures like networks self service terminals or automated teller machines.For cost and efficiency reasons they should mostly run autonomously.Unattended attractive lucrative targets for kindsof attacks, including attacks on the integrity their components thecommunication between components. In this paper, we propose a gen-eral cryptographic framework to protect unattended systems. We alsodemonstrate that instantiating with techniques from iden-tity based cryptography is particularly well-suited efficiently secureunattended
