In this paper, we present the implementation of an enhanced public key infrastructure (PKI)
which supports not only conventional public key cryptography (PKC) but also identity-based
cryptography (IBC). In addition, we discuss the possible way of placing together IBC and PKI
as well as solving the problems of user secret key revocation of PKI and IBC. As a proof of
concept, an IBC framework is incorporated into Enterprise Java Bean Certified Authority
(EJBCA) and the performance is reported.
