Introduction • PKI - a security architecture – over the internet. • Provides an increased level of confidence for exchanging information. • architecture addresses confidentiality, integrity, non-repudiation and authorization of data. • Supports the distribution, management, expiration, rollover, backup, revoking of public and private keys
Components of PKI • The End-Entities (EE) – end user or an application. • The Certificate Authority (CA) – third party assigns certificates • The Certificate Repository (CR) - stores certificates that are issued and also revoked certificates • The Registration Authority (RA) – optional component • Digital Certificates (X.509 V3) -
Implementation steps • Gather information • Make decision • Choose PKI vendors • Prepare infrastructure • Implement PKI
PKI interoperability • also known as multi vendor interoperability – where different technologies from different vendors are used by different clients including different applications. • Interoperability helps to support transactions between different parties that use different technology supplied by the different vendors
PKI interoperability - Issues • Different policies for issued certificates • Different features in PKI applications • Different certificate storage and retrieval standards • Different X.509 extensions • Different obligations on certificate subjects • Different PKI knowledge among organizational staff
Interoperability Model • Hierarchical model • Peer to Peer model also known as Mesh Model • Bridge Model
