In contrast to symmetric key cryptography, it enables confidential communication between entities in open networks, in particular the Internet, without prior contact. Beyond this PKC also enables protection techniques that have no analogue in traditional cryptography, most importantly digital signatures which for example support Internet security by authenticating software downloads and updates. Although PKC does not require the confidential exchange of secret keys, proper management of the private and public keys used in PKC is still of vital importance: the private keys must remain private, and the public keys must be verifiably authentic. So understanding so-called public key infrastructures (PKIs) that manage key pairs is at least as important as studying the ingenious mathematical ideas underlying PKC.  In this book the authors explain the most important concepts underlying PKIs and discuss relevant standards, implementations, and applications. The book is structured into chapters on the motivation for PKI, certificates, trust models, private keys, revocation, validity models, certification service providers, certificate policies, certification paths, and practical aspects of PKI. This is a suitable textbook for advanced undergraduate and graduate courses in computer science, mathematics, engineering, and related disciplines, complementing introductory courses on cryptography. The authors assume only basic computer science prerequisites, and they include exercises in all chapters and solutions in an appendix. They also include detailed pointers to relevant standards and implementation guidelines, so the book is also appropriate for self-study and reference by industrial and academic researchers and practitioners.Data structures (Computer science)Computer securityElectronic commerceSystem safetyData Structures and Information Theoryhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/I15009Systems and Data Securityhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/I28060e-Commerce/e-businesshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/I26000Security Science and Technologyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P31080Data structures (Computer science)Computer security.Electronic commerce.System safety.Data Structures and Information Theory.Systems and Data Security.e-Commerce/e-business.Security Science and Technology.005.74Buchmann Johannes Aauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut65712Karatsiolis Evangelosauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/autWiesmaier Alexanderauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/autBOOK9910437569303321Introduction to Public Key Infrastructures2516305UNINA
