DIGITAL CERTIFICATION
PKI technology
Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) is a set of elements, functions and procedures for managing the keys and certificates used by security services based on public key cryptography.
A PKI aims to meet the requirements of authentication, confidentiality, access control, non-repudiation and data integrity.
A PKI is made up of the Certification Authority (CA), the Registration Authority (RA), a repository (e.g. LDAP) of valid and revoked certificates (Certificate Revocation List, CRL), certificates, end-users and administrators archiving system, and a Certification Policy that describes the relationships between these various elements.
The services offered as part of the PKI system:
- Registering end-users
- Creating certificates
- Publishing (LDAP repository) certificates or a CRL
- Renewing certificates
- Revoking certificates
- Archiving ciphering keys
- Validating certificates
- Time stamping
