PUBLIC KEY INFRASTRUCTURE (PKI) ARCHITECTURE

IdenTrust|DST understands that designing a PKI is about more than just technology implementation. It's about integrating business requirements, security requirements, and operational requirements into an integrated technical infrastructure. A PKI architecture must be designed with respect to relevant facets of the business environment, network infrastructure, and information technology environment.

IdenTrust|DST can help an organization in every aspect of designing PKI architecture, such as:

• Identification and authentication requirements and infrastructure
• Integration of PKI business model, security requirements, and operation requirements
• Concept of Operations (CONOPS)
• PKI requirements definition
• Certificate lifecycle management architecture and requirements
• Certificate validation architecture and requirements
• Usability requirements
• Acceptance testing
• Implementation plan
• Limited production execution and assessment
• Integration of PKI and other authentication technologies (such as Biometrics)

Due to experience in establishing numerous PKI architectures with differing technologies, IdenTrust|DST understands the issues related to designing new PKI architectures and/or modifying existing PKI to meet new business, security, and operational requirements. IdenTrust|DST can provide the right blend of PKI technology and architecture expertise to establish a PKI architecture.
