PKI Unleashed: Navigating the Digital Trust Labyrinth in Modern Enterprises

This talk provides an introductory overview of Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) and its role in establishing digital trust through authentication, encryption, and integrity. It details the components of a PKI, including Certificate Authorities (CAs), Certificate Signing Requests (CSRs), and the certificate lifecycle. The presentation highlights the operational challenges of managing PKI, such as key ceremonies, hardware security modules (HSMs), and the importance of certificate revocation mechanisms like CRLs and OCSP. It also touches upon the emerging threat of quantum computing to current cryptographic standards.
