  Certificate-based encryption - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Certificate-based encryption is a system in which a certificate authority uses ID-based cryptography to produce a certificate.
The downside of this is the requirement for regular communication between users and the certificate authority, which means the certificate authority is more vulnerable to electronic attacks (such as denial-of-service attacks) and also that such attacks could effectively stop the system from working.
The best example of practical use of certificate-based encryption is Content Scrambling System (CSS), which is used to encode DVD movies in such a way as to make them playable only in a part of the world where they are sold.

 Netscape Server Central - Certificate Server 1.0 Evaluation Guide
A digital certificate is a type of digital identification in the form of a small data file that links a user's identity to their ownership of a public key.
Certificates are a strong form of authentication because they require that the user both have something (the certificate and private key) and know something (the password protecting the private key).
The main purpose of a certificate in the security infrastructure is to provide a portable, trustworthy association between the public key of the subject and the subject's name and other attributes.

In this model, a certificate -- or, more generally, a signature -- acts not only as a certificate but also as a decryption key.
To decrypt a message, a keyholder needs both its secret key and an up-to-date certificate from its CA (or a signature from an authorizer).
We demonstrate how certificate-based encryption can be used to construct an efficient PKI requiring less infrastructure than previous proposals, including Micali's Novomodo, Naor-Nissim and Aiello-Lodha-Ostrovsky.

 DigiFinancials.com - Electronic Commerce - Certificate-Based Encryption
Certificate-based encryption is a system in which a certificate authority uses ID-based cryptography to produce a certificate.
This system gives the users both implicit and explicit certification, the certificate can be used as a conventional certificate (for signatures, etc.), but also implicitly for the purpose of encryption.
The downside of this is the requirement for regular communication between users and the certificate authority, which means the certificate authority is more vulnerable to electronic attacks (such as denial-of-service attacks) and also that such attacks could effectively stop the system from working.

Certificate-based encryption is a system in which a Certificate Authority uses ID-based encryption to produce a certificate.
Key revocation can be added to the system by requiring a new certificate to be issued frequently (daily/hourly depending on level of security required), because the certificate is "public information" it does not need to be transmitted over a secret channel.
The downside of this is the requirement for regular communication between users and the CA, which means the CA is more vulnerable to electronic attacks such as a Denial of Service attacks and also that such attacks could effectively stop the system from working.

PKWare has also included "the capability for administrative policy lockdowns", so, for example, the need for both a password and certificate to open encrypted files can be enforced across an organization.

The second encryption of the Service Master Key is a recent addition because service account changes (of the SQL Engine service) might have led to loss of data.
The Entropy, while not increasing the overall strength of the encryption, does increase the difficulty for another application, running under the same service account as the SQL Server service, to compromise the encryption key.
Service Broker comes free with the SQL Server Express edition, and by using certificate based dialog- and transport-encryption, you can setup secure message based communications with many (potentially 1,000s, if you use the message forwarding capabilities to fan in/out) branch locations that report into a central hub.

 Identity-Based Encryption IBE and Secure Business Messaging By Voltage Security
In 1984, Adi Shamir, one of the inventors of the well-known RSA public key system, proposed that using identity directly as a public key, rather than relying on certificates, might be the best approach for simplifying public key cryptography.
Their scheme uses bilinear mappings, known as Weil and Tate pairings, on elliptic curves to obtain an algorithm that can be used to turn a simple, well-recognized identity into a public/private key pair.
The practical application of IBE results in a solution that is easy to implement and easy to manage, without the overhead and cost inherent in traditional security solutions.

 OpenVPN - An Open Source SSL VPN Solution by James Yonan
OpenVPN's security model is based on using SSL/TLS for session authentication and the IPSec ESP protocol for secure tunnel transport over UDP.
For example, when OpenVPN is built with the latest version of OpenSSL (0.9.7), it automatically has access to new ciphers such as AES-256 (Advanced Encryption Standard with 256 bit key) and the encryption engine capability of OpenSSL that allows utilization of special-purpose hardware accelerators to optimize encryption, decryption, and authentication performance.
While the PPTP protocol has the advantage of a pre-installed client base on Windows platforms, analysis by cryptography experts has revealed security vulnerabilities.
