PKI AND DIGITAL CERTIFICATES
LEARN HOW PKI (PUBLIC KEY INFRASTRUCTURE) HAS BECOME WIDESPREAD AS A WAY TO
PROTECT USERS, NETWORKS, DATA, AND CRITICAL BUSINESS SYSTEMS
Public key cryptography has become widespread as a way to protect users,
networks, data, and critical business systems. Whether PKI digital certificates
are used to encrypt data and ensure privacy, to digitally sign documents and
messages to attest to their integrity and authenticity, or to authenticate users
and systems and control access, these public key operations are integral to
modern operating systems, commercial security products, and custom-built
systems. E-commerce, online banking, internet gaming, smartphones, and cloud
computing all rely on the use of digital certificates to represent the digital
identity of users, connected devices, web services, and business applications.
Each digital certificate issued by a Certificate Authority (CA) is based on a
pair of cryptographic keys that form a high strength unique credential that is
tightly associated with the user or organization in question and that is used to
perform secure operations such as encryption or signing. Read our whitepaper,
"Securing Your PKI" for an in-depth discussion on PKIs and their management.
Challenges
CHALLENGES
Organizations deploying internal PKIs have the flexibility to define the
security models that fit their specific needs, but they face a number of
management challenges when it comes to defining, maintaining, securing, and
managing their PKI:
* Theft of CA signing private keys or root keys enables bogus certificates to
be issued and any suspicion of compromise may force re-issuance of some or
all of the previously issued digital certificates.
* Weak controls over the use of signing keys can enable the CA to be misused,
even if the keys themselves are not compromised.
* Theft or misuse of keys associated with online certificate validation
processes can be used to subvert revocation processes and enable malicious
use of revoked digital certificates.
* As new applications are brought on line, not attending to the performance
aspects of signing activities associated with issuance and validation
checking can result in significant business impact.

Solution Briefs: Entrust Delivers Self-Managed PKI Solutions to Address
Enterprise-Specific Security Needs
With more security-sensitive applications depending on the enterprise PKI to
deliver identification credentials to individuals and devices, the security of
underpinning private keys is essential.
Entrust self-managed PKI offerings combine technical expertise in the design and
implementation of organizational PKIs, with the security hardware necessary to
provide a robust root of trust for the system.

Solution Briefs: Entrust Helps Airlines Protect the Integrity and Authenticity
of Electronic Boarding Passes
The integrity and authenticity of an electronic boarding pass is validated by
checking the digital signature of the barcode they use. A digitally signed
barcode protects against forgery and enables validation upon check-in. Carriers
use private signing keys to sign barcodes and issue associated public
certificates from a Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) for their validation. The
degree to which carriers can trust their PKI depends on the protection afforded
to the root and issuing Certificate Authority (CA) private signing keys. The
private signing keys underpin the security of the entire system, and properly
safeguarding and managing them is essential.

Solution Briefs: Secure PKIs with nFinity Partners
Enterprise digitalization and the Internet of Things (IoT) are driving the need
to establish trusted identities for users, devices and applications. A public
key infrastructure (PKI) provides a mechanism by which organizations can
establish authentic identities for users and devices but the PKI itself –
including the underpinning private keys – requires high-assurance protection.
Download the solution brief to learn how Entrust works with nFinity partners to
offer secure PKI solutions integrated with nShield HSMs.

Research and Whitepapers: Securing Your PKI
This paper examines the security risks of typical enterprise and government
Public Key Infrastructures (PKIs) and describes how, as more high-value business
applications increasingly depend on trusted digital credentials, higher
assurance solutions are now necessary to reinforce security and mitigate growing
risks. Analyzing such aspects as the number of certificates being used, the
importance and value of the applications they support, and whether these
applications are subject to higher levels of scrutiny due to government or
industry regulatory compliance, are some of the critical factors to consider in
assessing whether a PKI can still meet the demands of an evolving organization.
