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

Public Key Crypto Pair Key Creation

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:

See also:

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 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 (also known as Client certification / Mutual TLS authentication) ?
