PKI
(Public Key Infrastructure)
A system of digital proofs and keys used to confirm identities and create secure connections
What's it for?
Lets organisations issue and manage digital proof that websites, people and systems are genuine.
For example…
Company servers use certificates so they can trust each other securely.
A company's PKI issues a certificate to its internal website so employee browsers can verify the site's identity and establish encrypted connections
Think of it like…
National ID system: passport offices, rules, and revocation lists — not just plastic cards
