Public Key Infrastructure (PKI)

From internet banking and smartphones to biometric passports and the Internet of Things (IoT), Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) serves as the foundational framework for establishing absolute digital trust across networks.

The Identity Framework

PKI combines hardware, software, and strict governance policies to issue and manage trusted digital identities for users, servers, and devices:

  • Certificate Authority (CA): Issues, signs, and manages the lifecycle of digital certificates.
  • Registration & Validation: Verifies the identity of entities requesting certificates and validates their current security status.
  • X.509 Certificates: Act as digital passports, binding an identity to a cryptographic key pair (Public Key for encryption/verification and a secret Private Key for decryption/signing) to ensure authentication, confidentiality, and non-repudiation.
