Conclusion

In this paper, we propose to used agent-based implementation as an open standard as PKI. Comparing with traditional PKI implementation, the security agent makes the construction of scalable authentication system much more feasible by employing the security agents in a bottom up fashion, it also makes interoperation of multi-certificate authentication system possible and can relieve the workload for certificate users.
For the future work, we would like to study the construction and specification of security policy, as well as increase the robustness of security agent to be against different kinds of attacks.
