NOPE: Strengthening domain authentication with succinct proofs

Year: 2024

Type: conference-paper

Abstract: Server authentication assures users that they are communicating with a server that genuinely represents a claimed domain. Today, server authentication relies on certification authorities (CAs), third parties who sign statements binding public keys to domains. CAs remain a weak spot in Internet security, as any faulty CA can issue a certificate for any domain.
