Abstract

This paper presents a security infrastructure design which is implemented to ensure safety in the e-School initiative that can escalate to meet the requirements of the entire electronic government system. The e-School initiative offers a number of ways that increase the effectiveness of education, student involvement in the process and is an element of the e-Government effort in Greece. A combination of existing technologies comprises the security solution presented, including Public Key Infrastructure, Shibboleth, Smart cards and Lightweight Directory Access Protocol. In this system, Pki is responsible for binding a public key to an entity, Ldap is the repository of keys and certificates and SSO is a method of access control that enables a user to authenticate once and gain access to the resources of multiple independent web services.
