SDSI combines a simple public-key infrastructure design with a means of defining groups and issuing group-membership certificates. SDSI's group provides simple, clear terminology for defining access-control lists and security policies. SDSI's design emphasizes linked local name spaces rather than a hierarchical global name space.}, url = {http://approjects.co.za/?big=en-us/research/publication/sdsi-a-simple-distributed-security-infrastructure/}, }
