Abstract

The authors look at the problem of delegation of rights or proxy in distributed object systems. Two signature-based schemes for achieving delegation which require different inter-object trust assumptions are presented. These schemes have been instantiated using public key and secret key based cryptographic techniques. Additional trust implications which arise from these implementations are also considered. Then the authors consider the issue of revocation of delegations and propose several ways of achieving this. These solutions have been compared with the mechanism found in the Distributed System Security Architecture proposed by M. Gasser and E. McDermott (1990). Finally, the authors consider the Kerberos authentication system and propose extensions to implement the delegation scheme.
