DESCRIPTION:Prof. Adrian Perrig\, ETH Zürich\nRecent trends in public-key
  infrastructure research explore the tradeoff between decreased trust in C
 ertificate Authorities (CAs)\, resilience against attacks\, ommunication o
 verhead (bandwidth and latency) for setting up an SSL/TLS connection\, and
  availability with respect to verifiability of public key information. In 
 this paper\, we propose AKI as a new public-key validation infrastructure\
 , to reduce the level of trust in CAs.  AKI integrates an architecture fo
 r key revocation of all entities (e.g.\, CAs\, domains) with an architectu
 re for accountability of all infrastructure parties through checks-and-bal
 ances. AKI efficiently handles common certification operations\, and grace
 fully handles catastrophic events such as domain key loss or compromise. W
 e propose AKI to make progress towards a public-key validation infrastruct
 ure with key revocation that reduces trust in any single entity.
