Public Key Infrastructure Consortium (PKI Consortium)

Trusted digital assets and communication for everyone and everything

PKI Consortium

The PKI Consortium is comprised of leading organizations that are committed to improve, create and collaborate on generic, industry or use-case specific policies, procedures, best practices, standards and tools that advance trust in assets and communication for everyone and everything using Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) as well as the security of the internet in general. By engaging with users, regulators, supervisory bodies and other interested or relying parties the consortium can address actual issues. [learn more…]

Public Key Infrastructure

Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) defines the foundation for most modern security systems and provides Confidentiality, Integrity, Authenticity and Non-repudiation. It relies on public key cryptography, a universally accepted asymmetric technology that enables entities to securely communicate using an insecure transport or media, reliably link the data to the signatory and protects the integrity of the data while proving guarantees about the existence of the data at the time of signature creation.

On the Drawbacks of Post-Quantum Cryptography in TLS
September 27, 2024 by Dimitris Zacharopoulos (HARICA) Post-Quantum Cryptography PQC TLS
Ongoing efforts to deploy PQ/hybrid KEMs as drop-in replacements for current mechanisms are well-tested and crucial for protecting information and identity in the near future. On the other hand, PQ signatures remain an unsolved problem - at least in terms of being drop-in replacements for ECC/RSA.
