Using Security Certificates / Security Certificates Overview |
Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) helps organizations safeguard the identities of their users. It provides users with robust encryption, network authentication, and wireless network access.
PKI uses a sophisticated method of encrypting and decrypting information that supports the distribution, revocation, and verification of public keys used for encryption. It enables linking of identities with public key certificates. A PKI enables users and systems to securely exchange data over the internet and verify the authenticity of certificate-holding entities.
