Public Key Infrastructure definition

Public Key Infrastructure. (PKI) means the architecture, organization, techniques, practices, and procedures that collectively support the implementation and operation of a digital certificate-based public key cryptographic system.

Public Key Infrastructure means the policies, methods, equipment and procedures including associated software, hardware and firmware for establishing and managing a secure method for exchanging electronic information involving the use of certification certificates, digital certificates, digital signatures, public and/or private keys.

Public Key Infrastructure means a framework for creating a secure method for exchanging information based on public key cryptography;

Examples of Public Key Infrastructure in a sentence

• All the data being entered by the bidders would be encrypted using Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) encryption techniques to ensure the secrecy of the data.

• All the documents being submitted by the bidders would be encrypted using PKI (Public Key Infrastructure) encryption techniques to ensure the secrecy of the data.

• Contractor personnel assigned to perform work under this contract may require access to Navy Information Technology (IT) resources (e.g., computers, laptops, personal electronic devices/personal digital assistants (PEDs/PDAs), NMCI, RDT&E networks, websites such as MyNAVAIR, and Navy Web servers requiring Common Access Card (CAC) Public Key Infrastructure (PKI)).

• All the documents being submitted by the bidder would be encrypted using PKI (Public Key Infrastructure) encryption techniques to ensure the secrecy of the data.

• In either case, the certificates used by the Contractor for these protections shall be DoD or IC approved Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) certificatesissued by a DoD or IC approved External Certification Authority (ECA) and shall make use of at least 128- bit encryption.

More Definitions of Public Key Infrastructure

Public Key Infrastructure means the system organizing the generation and distribution of keys and Certificates.

Public Key Infrastructure means a structure of hardware, software, people, processes and policies that employs Digital Signature technology to facilitate a verifiable association between the public component of an asymmetric Key Pair with a specific subscriber that possesses the corresponding Private Key. The Public Key may be provided for Digital Signature verification, Authentication of the subject in communication dialogues, and/or for message encryption key exchange or negotiation.

Public Key Infrastructure means a system comprising hardware, software, policies, processes, and procedures required to create, manage, distribute, use, store, and revoke digital certificates and public keys;
