Abstract
In this Chapter the issues concerning user/entity authentication and the problem of key management are discussed in depth. In Section 1.2.1 the user/data authentication paradigm was introduced. In order to be able to enforce any security scheme it is necessary that every entity in the network is always convinced of the identity of the other parties it is communicating with.
