Hybrid-Style Personal Key Management in Ubiquitous Computing

In ubiquitous computing environment it is common that a user owns and uses multiple computing devices, but managing cryptographic keys in those devices is a complicated matter. If certificate-based cryptography (PKI) is used such that each device has independent certificate, then user has to be involved in multiple certificate issuing processes with certification authorities (CA) and has to keep multiple private keys securely. If a single user...
