PKIbaserede

PKIbaserede refers to systems or solutions that utilize Public Key Infrastructure (PKI). PKI is a framework of hardware, software, policies, processes, and procedures required to create, manage, distribute, use, store, and revoke digital certificates and manage public-key encryption. The core purpose of PKI is to enable secure electronic transfer of information for activities like e-commerce, internet banking, and confidential email.

In a PKIbaserede system, digital certificates are issued by a trusted third party, known as a Certificate Authority (CA). These certificates bind a public key to an individual or entity, verifying their identity. When a PKIbaserede solution is implemented, it typically involves the use of these digital certificates for authentication, encryption, and digital signatures. Authentication confirms the identity of a user or device. Encryption ensures that data can only be read by authorized parties. Digital signatures provide integrity and non-repudiation, assuring that a message has not been tampered with and that the sender cannot deny having sent it.

Examples of PKIbaserede applications include secure websites (HTTPS), secure email (S/MIME), virtual private networks (VPNs), and digital identity management. The security and trust inherent in a PKIbaserede approach are crucial for many modern digital operations.
