PROJECT PROPOSAL - CPK Cryptosystem I would like to propose a "CPK cryptosystem" project to implement CPK (Combined Public Key) algorithm on OpenSolaris. CPK is an identity-based cryptographic algorithm, which means users can send an encrypted email to anyone only needs to know his email address. The trouble of getting recipients' public keys such as PGP will be eliminated.
This project also includes a USB token, as a repository of user's private keys and system parameters. All the keys can be securely stored in the token, include keys used by CPK, PGP, GnuPG, SSH. At the first step, we will implement a standalone command line tool with a similar interface to gpg, and an opensolaris driver for USB token. Later the project will be integrated to opensolaris cryptographic framework.
