What is a monkeysphere?

• Sorry it is not about animals like you might think
• It is about us, living in a monkeysphere
• It is about identifying someone as person
• It is about your peers living in a monkeysphere
• It is about authentication, as we need it for authorization andconfidentiality

Trust relationships

Whom should we trust?

• Should we trust some certificate authorities?
• We do not know how they certificate some service
• We even do not know them, do we?
• Why not trust the people we already know and have relationship to?

adding services to the web of trust

What we have is the Web of trust, that reflects trust relationships transitively.

• People we know sign services like ssh, https
• We use a service:
• monkeysphere gets the keys
• monkeysphere checks trust relations
• monkeysphere grants us access to a service, if we do trust if we do not trust monkeysphere provides us with the old way

Extending the web of trust

How does this work then?

• create pgp-key with service-protocol and fqdn as uid
• sign the pgp-key
• export the pgp-key to the web of trust
• let others sign the key

What do we get out of this?

• trusting people we know to authenticate a service to us
• getting around calling server administrators asking for fingerprints

This is how we create a key:

monkeysphere−host import−key / etc / ssh / ssh_host_r sa_key ssh : // b j o e r n . e x a m p l e . o r g

That is what a key looks like:

 bjoern : / etc / ssh# monkeysphere−host show−key
 pub
 2048 R / EF569B13 2012−01−22
 uid
 ssh : // b j o e r n . e x a m p l e . o r g
 OpenPGP fingerprint : 2 B 4 1 5 2 5 D 5 2 E 6 1 8 8 B A 8 3 6 B 2 B 7 7 D C 7 E F 2 1 E F 5 6 9 B 1 3
 ssh fingerprint : 2048 6 7 : cf : a1 : 7 3 : 8 9 : d2 : 5 2 : a8 : 7 7 : 9 0 : 9 8 : 1 f : f6 : 6 b : f0 : dc ( RSA )
