The goal of a Public-Key-Infrastructure (PKI) is to prove whether a cryptographic public key is authentic for a certain user. This information is crucial for the reliability of as...
This paper attempts to illuminate several fundamental concepts used in the creation of a Public Key Infrastructure (PKI). These concepts include encryption, public key cryptograph...
In key-insulated cryptography, there are many private keys with different indexes and a single, fixed public key. When the trust model includes multiple Certification Authoritie...
Most currently deployed Public Key Infrastructures (PKIs) are hierarchically oriented and rely on a centralized design. Hierarchical PKIs may be appropriate solutions for many usa...
