METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR EXTERNAL ORGANIZATION PATH LENGTH VALIDATION WITHIN A PUBLIC KEY INFRASTRUCTURE (PKI) |
摘要 |
A method for external organization path length (EOPL) validation is provided. A relying party node of an organization receives an authentication request from a subject node of an external organization. The relying party node then obtains and evaluates certificates from a chain of certificates that link the subject node to a trust anchor of the relying party node wherein, at least one certificate from the chain of certificates comprises an enabled external organization flag (EOF) and/or an external organization path length constraint (EOPLC). The relying party node invalidates authentication of the subject node when the relying party node determines that a total number of enabled EOFs from certificates in the chain of certificates exceeds the lowest EOPLC value from certificates in the chain of certificates.
