Public Key Infrastructure (PKI)

Many organisations that are considerig implementing PKI as a security solution for a closed user group setting usually end up with the question of whether they should go ahead and invest in a managed in-house PKI system, or simply opt for the general services of a public Certificate Authority (CA).

Unless the organization is very large, setting up an internal CA may cost more than using a public CA, even though it may appear cheaper at first. This is because setting up a high-security CA not only requires dedicated hardware and professional implementer. Highly skilled and trusted personnel must also be on hand to manage and operate the CA on a daily basis.
