Synopsis

This book concerns the establishment of a minimum interoperability specification for Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) components from different vendors. It primarily focuses on creating a sound Digital Signature PKI which provides the basic foundation needed to create and manage public key certificates for use in electronic signatures. These digital signatures can be used to replace handwritten signatures in government services, commerce, and legal proceedings, as well as allowing distant parties who have no previous relationship to reliably authenticate and conduct business. The book describes interoperability specifications for a large-scale PKI that issues, revokes, and manages digital signature public key certificates to allow for digital signatures to take the place of physical signatures. Along the way, the author discusses concepts such as network and hierarchical trust models and the importance of cross-certification, especially in the context of decentralized trust.
