Sentry: A Scalable Solution • Margie Cashwell • Senior Sales Engineer • mcashwell@xcert. com • Sept 2000
Overview • • State of Digital Mobile Telephony Examples of Wireless Applications PKI Architecture Scalability Extensibility Scalable Solutions Sample Architectures
State of Digital Mobile Telephony • Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM) has over 215 million subscribers • GSM alone has more subscribers than the Internet has users (210) • Paradigm shift in mobile telephony 3 G, – Sprint 1 st cellular provider to offer service in US
Examples of Wireless Applications • Top three uses of Internet enabled mobile phones: – Travel related uses – Online banking – Email • Wireless scale = Internet Scale x 100 = Enterprise x 1, 000
PKI Architecture • Requirements: – Multi- Functional – Extensible – Support mass-market network devices embedded in: • • mobile phones: pagers PDAs “smart phones”
Extensibility • • • Ration of device size to certificate size X. 509 certificate format too complex Elliptic curve keys in certificates WTLS certificate format Ability to support new certificate formats
Proven Scalable Solutions • 8 Million Certificates on a single server • Individual and batch certificate issuance and revocation • Remote publishing of user certificates • Locating and retrieving user certificates • Concurrent signing operations • Concurrent real time online certificate status checking
