Public Key Infrastructure • PROJECT DESCRIPTION • What is PKI ? Public-key infrastructure (PKI) is the combination of software, encryption technologies, and services that integrates digital certificates, public-key cryptography, and certificate authorities into a total, enterprise-wide network security architecture.
Principal Security Functions PUBLIC KEY CRYPTOGRAPHY • Confidentiality - to keep information private • Integrity - to prove that information has not been manipulated • Authentication - to prove the identity of an individual or application • Non-repudiation - to ensure that information cannot be disowned
Public Key Infrastructure DIGITAL SIGNATURES • A Digital Signature is a block of data created by applying a cryptographic signing algorithm to some data using the signer's private key.
Public Key Infrastructure CERTIFICATE AUTHORITY ( CA ) The CA system is the trust basis of a PKI as it manages public key certificates for their whole life cycle. The CA will: • Issue certificates by binding the identity of a user or system to a public key with a • digital signature • Schedule expiry dates for certificates • Ensure certificates are revoked when necessary by publishing Certificate Revocation • Lists (CRLs) REGISTRATION AUTHORITY (RA) The Registration Authority (RA) is to evaluate the credentials and relevant evidence that a person requesting a certificate is as claimed, certify for the association of an electronic identification, public key and approves the request for issuance of a certificate by a CA.
Public Key Infrastructure • PKI-ENABLED APPLICATIONS • A PKI is a means to an end, providing the security framework by which PKI-enabled applications can be confidently deployed to achieve the end benefits. • Communications between web servers and browsers • E-mail • Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) • Credit card transactions over the Internet
Public Key Infrastructure CONCLUSION • A main driver of PKI technology is the world’s ever-growing dependence on the Internet and all it has to offer is securing all types of e-business activities • Regrettably, four years into the PKI development process, policy-makers and technology-providers have still failed abysmally to appreciate the privacy risks inherent in PKI
