Public key infrastructure

公钥基础设施

PKI 通过证书、信任锚、发行和撤销流程把公钥与身份关联。验证证书链只是其中一步,还需校验名称、用途、时间和撤销状态。

PKI associates public keys with identities using certificates, trust anchors, issuance and revocation processes. Chain validation must be combined with name, purpose, time and status checks.

Public key certificate

公钥证书

公钥证书是将身份或主体信息与公钥绑定的签名数据。信任取决于发行链和验证策略,而不是证书中自称的名称。

A public-key certificate is signed data binding a public key to subject information. Trust depends on the issuing chain and validation policy, not simply on a name asserted in the certificate.

Certificate authority

证书颁发机构

证书颁发机构按照策略验证申请信息并签发证书。其可信度依赖操作控制、密钥保护和审计,签名本身不保证所有主体行为可靠。

A certificate authority validates requests under a policy and issues certificates. Its trust depends on operational controls, key protection and auditing; a signature does not guarantee all subject behavior.

Certificate revocation list

证书撤销列表

CRL 是由发行者签名的已撤销证书序列号列表。验证时需检查发行者、签名和更新时间,过期列表不能可靠反映最新撤销情况。

A CRL is an issuer-signed list of revoked certificate serial numbers. Verification must check issuer, signature and update times, since a stale list may not reflect recent revocations.

恒定时间实现

恒定时间密码实现避免执行路径或内存访问依赖秘密数据,以减少计时泄露;还需考虑编译器、缓存和处理器行为。

A constant-time cryptographic implementation avoids secret-dependent execution paths and memory access to reduce timing leakage. Compiler, cache and processor behavior must still be considered.

Key stretching

密钥拉伸

密钥拉伸通过有意昂贵的派生运算增加口令猜测成本。它不会增加原口令的真实熵,而是在一定资源预算下减慢攻击。

Key stretching deliberately makes derivation expensive to increase password-guessing cost. It does not increase the password's underlying entropy, but slows attacks under a resource budget.

Cryptographic erasure

密码学擦除

密码学擦除通过销毁访问加密数据所需的密钥来使数据不可恢复。其有效性依赖没有残留密钥副本、备份或未加密数据。

Commitment scheme

承诺方案

承诺方案允许先固定一个值而暂不公开,之后再揭示并验证。安全定义通常要求隐藏性和绑定性,二者不能由普通摘要自动完全实现。

A commitment scheme fixes a value while initially hiding it, then allows verifiable opening. Security usually requires hiding and binding, which are not automatically supplied by an ordinary digest.

Blind signature

盲签名

盲签名允许签名者在看不到完整消息内容时生成可验证签名,常用于隐私凭证;协议仍需控制授权范围和重复兑换问题。

Identity-based encryption

身份基加密

身份基加密从身份字符串构造公开加密标识,由可信机构发行对应私钥。它减少证书需求,却增加对私钥发行机构的信任。
