What is Sender authentication ? (Public Key Authentication based, Certificate-based in Cryptography)

About

Sender Authentication is based on the digital signature. If you can decrypt the signature successfully, it proves that the message come from:

  • a particular sender
  • or group

Type

There is three type of authentication:

Concept

Key

  • the private key remains (only) with the user (The possession of this key is proof of the user's identity. Only a user in possession of a private key that corresponds to the public key located at the server will be able to authenticate successfully.
  • the public keys are stored on the server in a file known as the What are the SSH Authorized Keys file? (on Server)

For the procedure. see Digital signature procedure

Key Manager

The KeyManager is a program (or function) that decides which authentication credentials should be sent to the remote host for authentication during SSL handshake.

Type

Mutual

See the dedicated page: What is a certification base authentication (aka SSL/ TLS Server | Client | Mutual authentication or Identity Certificate) ?
