XML Key Information System for Secure e-Trading

XKMS(XML Key Management Specification), one of XML Security specification, defines the protocol for distributing and registering public keys for verifying digital signatures and enciphering e-documents of electronic trading applications with various and complicate functions. In this paper, we propose XKIS(XML Key Information Service) Model and implement E-XKISS(ETRI XKIS System) Component based on standard specification. Also describes the analysis and security of XKIS for Secure e-Trading, paying attention to the features of XML based security service. This model supported includes public key location by given identifier information, the binding of such keys to identifier information. The client service component controls the numbers of locate threads and validate threads to analyze the minimum requirements of real-time key retrievals. This reference model offers the security construction guideline for future domestic e-Business Frameworks. Key-Words: XKMS. XKISS, XML Security, XML. Key Management, Electronic Trading, PKI
