Public Key Infrastructure Consortium (PKI Consortium)

Trusted digital assets and communication for everyone and everything

PKI Maturity Model (PKIMM)

To build a PKI maturity model that will be recognized around the globe as a standard for evaluation, planning, and comparison between different PKI implementations.

Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC)

Facilitate information exchange, encouraging discussions and sharing insights on various aspects of Post-Quantum Cryptography.

Training and Certification (TC)

Developing professional standards and certification programs for PKI professionals.

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.

Call for Abstracts: PQC Conference 2025 - Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia

The PKI Consortium invites researchers, practitioners, and industry leaders to submit abstracts for the PQC Conference 2025 in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. This hybrid event (October 28-30, 2025) will focus on the status and practical implementation of post-quantum cryptography across strategic and technical dimensions.

Key Takeaways of the PQC Conference in Austin
January 30, 2025 by Paul van Brouwershaven (Entrust) Paul van Brouwershaven (SSL.com) Austin Conference Post-Quantum Cryptography PQC Texas
Over two days of intensive programming, experts delivered compelling presentations and engaged in insightful panel discussions, both in plenary sessions and concurrent breakout tracks. This year, the focus shifted decisively from theoretical exploration to concrete, actionable steps for implementing quantum-safe cryptography. The key takeaway was clear: delay poses the greatest risk, and immediate action is essential to achieve quantum resilience.
