Probability References to Apply in the Detection of Anomalous Public Key Infrastructures

This article calculates the theoretical probability of finding repeated primes in a given sample of unbiased issued digital certificates. These values can be used as reference for developing a statistical procedure to audit and control the behavioral pattern of a Public Key Infrastructure (PKI), thu...

Descripción
Sumario:This article calculates the theoretical probability of finding repeated primes in a given sample of unbiased issued digital certificates. These values can be used as reference for developing a statistical procedure to audit and control the behavioral pattern of a Public Key Infrastructure (PKI), thus allowing the detection of operational anomalies and the prevention of vulnerabilities of this nature.
