This topic includes works on secure infrastructures based on authentication and certification. In the listed papers, it is discussed and formalized solutions to the problem of authentication in multi-entity based environments using key distribution centers as the basis for authenticating such entities. On the other hand, it is also presented and formalized general certification architectures in order to provide a global authentication system based on certification.
