| Abstract | To relieve users of the burden to memorize and manage their credentials while allowing for seamless roaming between various end devices, the idea of so-called credential repositories that store credentials for users came to attention. Both the risk of the credential repository being unavailable and the risk of the credentials becoming compromised are managed by the party that hosts the credential repository and that has to be trusted by the user. Removing the need for a trust relationship to a single party implies that users have to manage the risks themselves, for instance, by splitting the credentials across multiple systems/parties. However, if the systems differ in terms of availability and vulnerability, determining a suitable splitting strategy to manage the tradeoff between credential availability and vulnerability constitutes a complex problem. In this paper we present CREDIS, an approach that supports the user in building a credential repository based on heterogeneous systems that differ in terms of vulnerability and availability. CREDIS enables users to specify requirements on the availability and the vulnerability of the distributed credential repository and determines an optimal strategy on how to split secrets across the heterogeneous systems. We prove the NP-hardness of finding an optimal strategy, introduce an approach based on Integer Linear Programming to find optimal strategies for medium sized scenarios and propose heuristics for larger ones. We show that the CREDIS approach yields a reasonably secure and available credential repository even when the distributed repository is built based on low-grade devices or systems. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
