Public Key Infrastructure\u00a0(PKI) is a technology for authenticating devices and users in the digital world. The basic idea behind PKI is to have one or more trusted parties digitally sign documents certifying that a particular cryptographic key belongs to a particular user or device.<\/p>\n
Nowadays most basic authentication involves a private key (also known as a secret key), which only one person should be able to use to decrypt those messages and a public key, which anyone can use to encrypt a message.\u00a0PKI govern encryption keys through the issuance of digital certificates and their management therefore verifying the owner of the private key.<\/p>\n
