2 RSA Keon ® Robust, flexible Certification Authority Enhanced PKI Services –Interoperable across multiple certificate authorities, directory servers and applications –Powerful desktop with common credential store, two-factor authentication and file encryption –Security server providing policy management, trust management and credential mobility Application Integration –RSA BSAFE ® Cert tools natively PKI-enabling applications –RSA Keon Agent toolkit for integrating existing non-PKI applications (SSO)

3 RSA Keon Agent RSA Keon Enhanced Services RSA Keon Advanced PKI RSA Keon Certificate Server Web App E-mail Application server (e.g.SAP) RSA BSAFE PKI - enabled app. RSA Keon Security Server RSA SecurID Authenticator RSA Keon Desktop

4 RSA Keon Security Server Keon Credential Store management and delivery for mobile users Focal point for CA interoperability within Keon Automated certificate validation Centralized management for private key access policy Centralized logging depot for Keon components Replication for scalability Simplified Administration Extend the use of digital certificates across organizations and applications

5 RSA Keon Desktop File Encryption Protection of Credentials PKI Credential Interoperability Smart Card Support Reduced Logon Ease of Deployment Providing the critical requirements for desktop e-Security

6 Certificates & Cryptography bind digital identities to the data and transactions they manipulate Authenticators bind people to their digital identities Security Non-repudiation requires trust in certificates

7 How Secure is the Private Key? Crypto Operation Where is it stored? Hard Drive Smart Card How user authenticates to the store? Virtual Smart Card

8 PKCS #12 export Password Local PKI Credential Storage Password

9 PKCS #12 Issues PKCS #12 implementations hard to use Requires manual intervention No life cycle support Inconsistent update of credentials Limited security for private key –Password based Allows replication of identity

10 Smart Cards and Authentication Smart Cards are ideal for PPK Authentication –The Private Key lives in secure tamper resistant storage –“2 factor” authentication is re-introduced since you need both the Smart Card and a PIN to unlock it –The crypto happens on the Smart Card with the help of a crypto accelerator –They fit into your wallet, and they scrape frost off car windows nicely!

11 The Benefits of Smart Cards They are secure They are portable They can perform operations other than authentication –signatures, encryption They can support other applications –E-cash, Loyalty,... They can be used as Employee badges

12 RSA SecurID 3100 Smart Card Highest security –On-card digital signatures Supports latest application features –Dual keys and certificates Mobility –Credential store on-card with keys, certificates, login information and RSA SecurID seed Versatile –Supports RSA Keon Desktop for PKI applications and classic RSA SecurID-protected systems

13 RSA SecurID 3100 Smart Card Smart Card Readers –PC/SC –Setec SetCad 203N –Philips PE112/PE122 Smart Cards –Philips DX –Setec 8k –Setec 16k –GemPlus GPK8000

14 Smart Card-Reader Interface There are actually two standardization issues to be dealt with –The electrical interface between the reader hardware and the PC Fortunately standards exist here RS232 and USB –More problematic is the interface between the reader hardware and the smart card Two classes of interface were needed here: –Electrical Interface Standards –Command Interface Standards ISO 7816 addresses these issues

15 Smart Card Reader Interface The next level of problem is the API between the smart card reader, and the host PC software –Until recently, each reader manufacturer had a proprietary API which was used to talk to the reader driver This was an effort by the smart card reader manufacturers to lock applications into a particular reader Several years ago a consortia headed by Microsoft defined the PC/SC interface –It was intended to be use by systems other than Windows (Unix, PDAs, …) –In reality, it is primarily a Microsoft Windows standard

16 Smart Card Formatting There are two major ways of dealing with this formatting problem: –One solution is to develop a standardized way to layout the card directory, and name the files PKCS15 developed by RSA Labs is an example –The other solution is to abstract the interface to the card so that you no longer deal with directories and files JavaCard is an example

17 Netscape Communicator Microsoft apps RSA Keon Credential Store CAPI/CSP PKCS#11 PKI Credential Interoperability Sharing credentials across multiple applications

18 The Barriers to Smart Cards They need a reader –This will be an issue until these become embedded in keyboards and notebooks They cost money –But prices are getting pretty reasonable Not all applications support PPK and Smart Cards –But many of today’s applications are Web based, and the browsers do support them Industry compatibility –PC/SC Readers now available –PKCS #15 from RSA Labs

19 PKCS15 What is it? –It is a specification for organizing cryptographic data onto an authentication objects (e.g. card, other devices) –Allows multiple PKCS15 applications to live on same card People frequently confuse PKCS11 and PKCS15 –PKCS11 is a standard which defines how to plug cryptographic tokens into a crypto solution These tokens could be smart cards or crypto accelerators for example –PKSC15 is a standard which defines the layout of a smart card format, and the naming standard for common files The application developers who use smart cards are focusing on PKCS15

21 Unique PKI Issues for B2B & Extended Enterprises Partners wishing to use PKI to protect transactions over the Internet. –Must support the “Big 2” web browsers and mail clients –Must be secure over a public network –Must be unobtrusive to partners’ PCs –Must be easy to use –Solution must be secure, scalable, and manageable –Users credentials must be mobile

22 Large enterprise deployments wanting to use PKI for a variety of functions –Browser, S/MIME, IPSec –The enterprise requires unobtrusive software –Must be easy to use –The solution must be secure and be run over a public network Unique PKI Issues for B2B & Extended Enterprises
