The Practical Guide to Public Key Infrastructures
Abstract: This document offers a practical introduction to Public Key Infrastruc-tures and the fundamental technologies which are involved. After a formal outline of PKI, two popular implementations are discussed: X.509 PKI and OpenPGP PKI. Every aspect and every task is demon-strated using commands that are based either on the OpenSSL library or the GnuPG command line tool.
