Abstract
This chapter describes Public Key Infrastructure (PKI). PKI is immersing itself into the business enterprise. Lotus notes has had a PKI since release 1.0. The public key cryptography requires a public key infrastructure. Businesses around the world are deploying new generations of business-critical applications, and in many cases, these are distributed applications. These applications are serving the following types of environments including customer to business, business to business, and employees to business. This environment is where PKI can be very useful in the high-volume transaction and mobile world of Internet commerce. It provides risk management control for business systems. PKI can help an organization by providing a secure mechanism to transfer mail not only inside the organization but also outside the organization. In addition, there are the benefits of being able to have a secure transaction and access based on a certificate. One can even set up a central certificate database (LDAP) and authenticate using it as an authoritative source.
