PKI Overview

Public key infrastructure (PKI) enables encryption, digital signature and authentication capabilities to be consistently and transparently applied across a broad range of applications and platforms.

Entrust Authority, the world's first commercially available PKI, was released in 1994. Now in its 7th edition, the Entrust Authority™ public-key infrastructure product portfolio manages the full lifecycles of digital certificate-based digital identities so that users do not have to understand how a PKI works in order to take advantage of encryption and digital signature services. Optional PKI components can be easily integrated to help meet an organization's unique security requirements and transparently automate all security-related processes through one public-key infrastructure.
