New privacy-enhanced access control system ensures anonymous server access for all.
A new way to protect privacy and control access to online services has been developed using SPKI certificates. These certificates contain minimal client information compared to traditional certificates. Clients can get permission to access services by submitting their SPKI certificate to the server, which then verifies it. Clients can also delegate their access to others. The system includes an authorized server, issuing agent, and client, all based on SPKI technology. The system is implemented using Java.
