Riassunto

An in-depth technical guide on the security technology driving Internet e-commerce expansion.
"Planning for PKI" examines the number-one Internet security technology that will be widely adopted in the next two years. Written by two of the architects of the Internet PKI standards, this book provides authoritative technical guidance for network engineers, architects, and managers who need to implement the right PKI architecture for their organization. The authors discuss results and lessons learned from early PKI pilots, helping readers evaluate PKI deployment impact on current network architecture while avoiding the pitfalls of early technical mistakes. Four technical case studies detail the do's and don'ts of PKI implementation, illustrating both successes and failures of different deployments. Readers will also learn how to leverage future PKI-related technologies for additional benefits.

Dalla quarta di copertina

An in-depth technical guide to the security technology driving Internet e-commerce.

"Planning for PKI" examines this cornerstone Internet security technology. Written by two of the architects of the Internet PKI standards, this book provides authoritative technical guidance for network engineers, architects, and managers who need to implement the right PKI architecture for their organization. Readers will learn that building a successful PKI is an on going process, not a one-time event. The authors discuss results and lessons learned from three early PKI deployments, helping readers avoid the pitfalls and emulate the successes of early PKI adopters.

Using plain and direct language, the authors share their extensive knowledge of PKI standards development in the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) and elsewhere. Subtle points about the Internet PKI standards are liberally sprinkled throughout the book. These nuggets provide insight into the intent of some of the esoteric topics in the standards, enabling greater interoperability.

"Planning for PKI" gathers the PKI state-of-the-art into one volume, covering everything from PKI history to emerging PKI-related technologies.
