	Public key infrastructure - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		PKI arrangements enable users to be authenticated to each other, and to use the information in identity certificates (i.e., each other's public keys) to encrypt and decrypt messages travelling to and fro.
		Most enterprise-scale PKI systems rely on certificate chains to establish a party's identity, as a certificate may have been issued by a certificate authority computer whose 'legitimacy' is established for such purposes by a certificate issued by a higher-level certificate authority, and so on.
		PKI vendors have found a market, but it is not quite the market envisioned in the mid-90s, and it has grown both more slowly and in somewhat different ways than were anticipated.

		Before we start: "Do we even need a PKI for e-commerce?" Open any article on PKI in the popular or technical press and you're likely to find the statement that a PKI is desperately needed for e-commerce to flourish.
		PKI vendors have latched onto the term and used it in a legal sense, lobbying for laws to the effect that if someone uses your private signing key, then you are not allowed to repudiate the signature.
		Risk #10: "Why are we using the CA process, anyway?" One PKI vendor employee confided in us a few years ago that they had great success selling their PKI solution, but that customers were still unhappy.

		PKI management entities are also end entities in the sense that they are sometimes named in the subject Adams & Farrell Standards Track [Page 2] RFC 2510 PKI Certificate Management Protocols March 1999 field of a certificate or cross-certificate.
		PKI management protocols must support the production of Certificate Revocation Lists (CRLs) by allowing certified end entities to make requests for the revocation of certificates - this must be done in such a way that the denial-of-service attacks which are possible are not made simpler.
		In other words, all PKI entities (end-entities, RAs, and CAs) must be capable of handling responses to requests for certificates in which the actual certificate issued is different from that requested (for example, a CA may shorten the validity period requested).

	PKI Encryption (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-06)
		A PKI is to a digital signature what a school system is to a diploma, what a navy is to a ship, what a state department is to a passport.
		In sum, a PKI is the technological, organizational, legal, and security systems that support the integrity, reliability, and interoperability of digital certificates, digital signatures, and applications based on digital signature technology-often referred to asymmetrical twin key encryption.
		From a business point of view, a PKI consists of the hierarchy of institutional and business structures whose function it is to operate the PKI in a way that is secure, legal, manageable, and in most cases profitable.

	PKI considered harmful
		PKI is no exception, and as we are now faced with a security situation of grave concern on the Internet (phishing, viruses, malware and identity data loss) the security community can no longer afford the luxury of blindly supporting a technology just because it sells.
		The PKI may or may not achieve two legs, but it may be getting confused in trying to do all three in one namespace (see next section).
		PKI is the ultimate expression in the false sense of security, and no amount of discussion, paper authoring, and other forms of hand wringing can ever cater or redeem the losses that users have incurred.

	PKI - a Whatis.com definition - see also: public key infrastructure (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-06)
		A PKI (public key infrastructure) enables users of a basically unsecure public network such as the Internet to securely and privately exchange data and money through the use of a public and a private cryptographic key pair that is obtained and shared through a trusted authority.
		Although the components of a PKI are generally understood, a number of different vendor approaches and services are emerging.
		RSA Security is the home of the system and encryption algorithms that underlie most PKI approaches.

		As the healthcare enterprise moves past its mere evaluation of PKI toward a commitment to deploy, it encounters the significant complexity of PKI.
		PKI is complex because it is not merely an information technology, but also a healthcare business and legal infrastructure.
		A PKI Policy specifies to whom the enterprise will issue certificates and for what purposes as well as the basis for its reliance on the certificates issued by others.

	Bug Watch: Safety in electronic security - vnunet.com
		Today's PKI technology has a client-centric architecture, which means it needs to be installed on each individual device that has to be secured.
		The key is a complete overhaul of the way in which PKI is provisioned, and a move from a device-centric to a server-centric approach.
		With PKI now well established and a server-centric architecture in place to make it more accessible, the security industry has woken up to the need for a rich range of applications to fulfil the potential of its technology.

		Where encryption of data is required, perhaps between the organisation's internal networks and between clients and representatives, a means of generating and managing the encryption keys is required.
		PKI, or Public Key Infrastructure, is the use and management of cryptographic keys - a public key and a private key - for the secure transmission and authentication of data across public networks.

		PKI goes on to discuss key management and certificate lifecycles, PKI architecture (based on the IETF PKIX/X.509 model) and application integration, and the protocols and standards that govern PKI solutions (or will govern those solutions once interoperability and standardization issues have been resolved).
		It is clear that RSA sees PKI systems and services as the future of the security industry and RSA wants to be sure that the rest of the world sees PKI through its lens.

	PKI (public-key infrastructure)
		PKI refers to a set of security services for authentication, encryption and digital certificate management under which documents are encrypted with a private key and decrypted using a publicly available key accessible to the recipient via a network.
		PKI differs from private key technology, like Kerberos, in which a single key that is shared by the sender and receiver is used to encrypt and decrypt a message or document.
		Your description of the PKI encryption process is backwards.
