| Abstract | Cryptography is a tool supporting anyone to keep information privacy when they send the information to other people since cryptography is a procedure related with scrambling plaintext into ciphertext. The main important part is public key and private that are used to encryption and decryption respectively. Therefore, other topic raised to consider is how to distribute the public key among users. A public key is attached to a digital certificate before exchange. Three kinds of certificate exchange system are considered in this research. Crypto Contact Certificate Exchange System is a main objective of this research. Such a system is used on practical certificate exchange on mobile phones in order to make the communications more secure. Crypto Contact is considered to be a peer-to-peer model since another peer-to-peer model is brought to compare with Crypto Contact. Pretty Good Privacy (PGP) is a model that can perform on peer-to-peer manner. It uses the concept "web of trust" to exchange certificate. Crypto Contact is a extension of Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) that uses the concept of hierarchy, therefore, PKI is also other model including in this research. Many topics are discussed to compare among three certificate exchange systems. Such topics are concerned with fundamental concept and practical aspect of three systems such as, certificate generation and issuing, chain of trust in certificate, chain disclosure and so on. |
