LNCS 2828 Extending the SDSI SPKI Model through Federation Webs 1st edition by Altair Olivo Santin, Joni da Silva Fraga, Carlos Mazier ISBN 3540201858 978-3540201854

LNCS 2828 – Extending the SDSI / SPKI Model through Federation Webs is a research-oriented book by Altair Olivo Santin, Joni da Silva Fraga, and Carlos Mazier, published as part of the Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) series. This work focuses on extending the SDSI (Simple Distributed Security Infrastructure) and SPKI (Simple Public Key Infrastructure) models to address modern challenges in decentralized and federated security systems.

The book delves into the integration of these models with Federation Webs, which are networks of interconnected, independent security domains. These Federation Webs provide a way for multiple organizations or entities to trust one another in a distributed environment. The authors propose an enhanced model for security and trust management that can be applied to decentralized systems such as the Web and cloud computing environments.

The book explores how the SDSI and SPKI models can be adapted and extended to support federated systems, where trust relationships and security policies need to be established and managed across multiple independent entities. These federated systems are increasingly common in environments like the internet, cloud computing, and distributed applications, where different organizations or domains need to interoperate securely.
