IGIDA:Internet General IDentity Architecture
Identity of users and hosts are necessary in mobile environment and in network management of Internet,and the reality of the identity is even more import in security and trust-worthiness of Internet communication. As there exists some problem in current identity research,such as not supporting global single sign-on and the absence of identity reality,this paper defines a general identifier GID to describe the identity of a user or a endpoint device,and proposes a new Internet architecture based on GID,called IGIDA. This paper also proposes the authenticaion protocol and control mechanism of GID and gives some possible applications in future on IGIDA.
