Abstract
This chapter describes the Convergence security infrastructure. The core component for Convergence Security (CoSec) has a distributed architecture. It encompasses subcomponents on different computing platforms such as client computers and smart cards, application servers and peers. An essential feature of Co-Sec is the use of smart cards as a secure token. This Convergence token provides sensitive security functions on a tamper-resistant device. The chapter first introduces the concepts and the architecture of the security infrastructure. Based on a description of the basic cryptographic primitives, as well as of the advanced cryptographic schemes applied by the project, we describe the high-level security functions provided for the Convergence middleware and network layer.
