Abstract :
When the Web services are used, there is a case that they need not identify who is the user if the user is the regular user. In this paper, we propose the method that the service based on authority can be used by public-key certificate and attribute certificate without identifying. As a result, the user can take the services though the user with a regular authority is not identified by the service server. Moreover, the service server confirms user is a regular user, and can provide the services without identifying the user. Our method makes it possible to protect the user´s usage information.
