Abstract:
A secure key distribution server (SKDS) determines identity of a requesting server without use of a shared secret by resolving the fully qualified domain name (FQDN) to a network address and comparing it with the network address of a key request. A credential string may also be used as part of the identification. Once identity is established, keys may be securely distributed. The SKDS may also be implemented in a peer-to-peer configuration.
