Security Analysis of Electronic Identity Schemes

Abstract

This report is about electronic identity (eID) schemes and a security analysis in the Universal Composable (UC) security framework of Transport Layer Security (TLS) and OpenID. The security analysis show that secure communication session (scs) is realized by Transport Layer Security where TLS is the composition of the key exchange functionality with the message transmission of TLS record Layer. We also show that a TLS protocol, which is a composite protocol with the scs functionality, UC-realize an electronic identity functionality where both players identify to each other. The OpenID protocol which applies TLS also realize the eID functionality.
