Abstract
This paper describes the mechanisms used by Inferno to secure communications between machines. All security is optional: an application may use it or avoid it. Inferno provides strong mutual authentication message encryption, message digesting, and digital signatures. Authentication and digital signatures are performed using public key cryptography. Public keys are certified by Inferno-based certifying authorities that sign the public keys with their own private key.
