V-RMTC Model System 3

4. Applications
A standard V-RMTC Model system is composed by a suite of three applications, developed by Italian Navy:
Client application (MERSIT Client v.3.4)
manage and store data of each NOC, on a local PC
deliver national reports to CINCNAV [Data Fusion Hub (DFH)]
Converter (AIS-2-MERSIT v.1.2)
transform AIS data (NMEA 0183) into MERSIT format
Webserver application (Web Portal v.2009)
allow DFH to receive Reports
manage a common tracks database
publish the common picture into a secure Website ( where a minor Information area is available.

32. Agenda
PKI 32

33. PKI
In this scheme, each party generates a public/private key pair and distributes the public key. After obtaining an authentic copy of each other's public keys, Alice and Bob can compute a shared secret offline.
In an asymmetric key encryption scheme, anyone can encrypt messages using the public key, but only the holder of the paired private key can decrypt.
In some related signature schemes, the private key is used to sign a message; but anyone can check the signature using the public key.
An unpredictable (typically a large randomly chosen) number is used to begin generation of an acceptable pair of keys suitable for use by an asymmetric key algorithm.

34. PKI What is PKI: Public Key Infrastructure
Comprehensive security technology and policies using cryptography and standards to enable users to:
Identify (authenticate) themselves to network services
Digitally sign and other electronic docs and services
Encrypt and other documents to prevent unauthorized access

35. PKI Applications of PKI:
Authentication and Authorization of Web users and servers
This is the basis for the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) and the Transport Layer Security (TLS) protocols used to secure web connections using https
Server authentication is common, user authentication getting started
Secure (signed and encrypted)
Electronic signatures
Data encryption
Business documents, databases, executable code
Network data protection (VPN, wireless)
Secure instant messaging

36. PKI PKI Solutions: Italian Navy IDs Voting Anonymous value exchange
Transit ticketing
Credit cards
Identification (passports and drivers licenses)
Notarization (contract, s, etc.)
Software distribution
Symmetric key management

37. PKI What is a certificate:
Signed data structure (x.509 standard) binds some information to a public key
Trusted entity asserts validity of information in certificate, enforces policies for issuing certificates
Certificate information is usually a personal identity or a server name
Think of a certificate with its keys as an electronic:
smart card,
encoder/decoder ring, and
official signet ring for sealing wax or notary-style stamp

38. PKI What is a certificate authority (CA):
An organization that creates, publishes, and revokes certificates
Verifies the information in the certificate
Protects general security and policies of the system and its records
Allows you to check certificates so you can decide whether to use them in business transactions
CA = Certificate Authority
RA = Registration Authority
VA = Validation Authority
