Unlock the Power of PKI
Discover how our expert guidance can simplify Public Key Infrastructure, enhancing your organization’s security and revenue potential.
Understanding Public Key Infrastructure (PKI)
Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) is a framework that enables secure, encrypted communication and authentication over networks. It is crucial for safeguarding sensitive data, ensuring that only authorized users can access it. PKI uses a pair of cryptographic keys—public and private—to encrypt and decrypt information, providing a robust layer of security. In today’s digital landscape, PKI is essential for protecting online transactions, securing communications, and maintaining data integrity. Its significance lies in its ability to provide a scalable and reliable security solution for organizations of all sizes.
PKI is utilized to secure and authenticate online communications and transactions by verifying digital identities and enabling encrypted data transfer. It does this through the use of digital certificates and public/private key cryptography. PKI provides security and non-repudidation for many technologies, such as; Identity & Access Management (IDAM), Encryption, Device Authentication, Cloud Access, Secure Mobile Communications, Secure Document Signing, VPN Services, and WiFi Access to name a few. PKI is utilized in many other forms in modern secure environments. Easy-PKI has worked with these technologies and many more.
It is essential to get PKI “right” the first time, as once a PKI environment is created and identification/authentication credentials have been issued, changes are time consuming, complicated, and often expensive. This is one of those technologies where it needs to be done right from the foundation up.
If you have existing PKI infrastructure or are ready to create a PKI for the first time, we are ready to help.
Demystifying PKI: A Step-by-Step Guide
Step 1
Step 1: Certificate Authority (CA) Setup – Establish a trusted CA architecture to issue digital certificates. This can be either a Public CA or a Private CA. Refer to the page under “Services” for more information on Digital Certificates.
Step 2
Step 2: Key Pair Generation – Create a pair of cryptographic keys for encryption and decryption.
Step 3
Step 3: Certificate Issuance – The CA issues a digital certificate, linking the public key to the user’s identity.
