Abstract :
It is shown how security information for user authentication, peer-entity authentication and access control is created and utilized in large distributed systems. The protection mechanisms used are hash functions, and symmetric and asymmetric cryptography. The authors describe and combine data formats for security information based on international standards from several standardization bodies
