OpenPKSD Trusted Key Server Coming Soon!
|
2005/Nov/04 |
|
|
OpenPKSD Trusted Key Server (OpenPKSD-TKS) is a successor of
OpenPKSD. OpenPKSD-TKS provides some new facility for public
keyserver. Public key can be controled by public key owner under
OpenPKSD-TKS site.
Public key owner can show/hide their public key by their
intention.
Public key can be replaced by only public key owner.
Because OpenPKSD-TKS has their public key, OpenPKSD-TKS can send
secret information to public key owner, can share hidden information
with public key onwer, and can verify singed information from public
key owner. Thus, OpenPKSD-TKS can verify public key owner's request.
Prototype is already done. We have been building new OpenPKSD-TKS
site. Test site will be opened at the end of this year, 2005. We hope
to start our OpenPKSD-TKS service site at 2006 Apr 1st.
Thanks,
PS.
Prototype source is available from www.ipa.go.jp but I never recommend
prototype code because some critical bugs were found in this code. It
is definitely prototype, not for site services. And it never be
updated. After OpenPKSD-TKS site is available, we provide
OpenPKSD-TKS source code from our site. Sorry for inconvenient.

YOUR EMAIL ADDRESS IS SAFER THAN YOU THOUGHT
|
2005/Aug/05 |

I heard some users are afraid of "Spammers got my email address
from keyserver because huge email address list could be downloaded from
keyserver."
It's not true for OpenPKSD. Spammer can't download email list from
OpenPKSD. Everyone can retrieve one public key and its information
using an email address as a search key. Also a keyid is available for
a search key. If someone search public keys using random keyids or
random email addresses, OpenPKSD server goes slow connection for a user
who has been trying frequent connections to OpenPKSD keyserver because
OpenPKSD has access control for abuse and/or DoS.
Can spammers get 100 email addresses? --- Yes. 1000? --- they could.
Over 10000? --- I don't think so. If they try it with bunch of bots,
it become a sort of DoS attack to my keyserver site. That is not the
matter of spammer thing. THAT IS THE MATTER OF DoS ATTACK. So I have
to protect my keyserver against them.
Today, OpenPKSD.org site is not synchronized to any keyserver
site. OpenPKSD is able to sync to other OpenPKSD sites but there is no
OpenPKSD site except my site ;-)
Anyway, your email address is safer than you thought.
