PKI

Public Key Infrastructure

Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) is the term generally used to describe the mechanisms, entities, policies, and relationships that are employed to retrieve cryptographic keys and to reliably associate public cryptographic keys with their owners. SSG professionals have a very high level of familiarity with the body of knowledge encompassed by these issues, as well as the related cryptography and encryption technologies used to effectively support them. They have the expertise to provide leadership to their clients in achieving the revenue potential and cost reductions these represent.
