Abstract

In this paper, we present the design of foundation PKI (fPKI), a PKI system constructed on an overlay network for an open source community. fPKI can provide an alternative PKI system to the current server-client PKI system. The certificate authority (CA) system of the fPKI is composed of the reputation of each committer, which has been assessed by the SecureEigenTrust algorithm. fPKI inherits the scalability of SecureEigenTrust, and also inherits the common CA usage of the server-client PKI system
