Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) is a framework used to manage digital certificates and public-key encryption.
It enables secure electronic transfer of information for a range of network activities such as e-commerce, internet banking, and confidential email. PKI is fundamental to the management of encryption keys and digital certificates, ensuring the secure exchange of data over networks and verification of identity.
