Abstract
We present ConChord, a large-scale certificate distribution system built
on a peer-to-peer distributed hash table. ConChord provides load-balanced
storage while eliminating many of the administrative difficulties of
traditional, hierarchical server architectures. ConChord is specifically
designed to support SDSI, a
fully-decentralized public key infrastructure that allows principals to
define local names and link their namespaces to delegate trust. We discuss
the particular challenges ConChord must address to support SDSI efficiently, and
we present novel algorithms and distributed data structures to address
them. Experiments show that our techniques are effective and practical for
large SDSI name
hierarchies.
