A Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) is a set of roles, policies, hardware, software and procedures used to create, manage, distribute, use, store and revoke digital certificates and manage public-key encryption. It is required for activities where passwords are an inadequate authentication method and more rigorous proof is needed. A PKI includes Certificate Authorities (CA), Registration Authorities (RA) and Validation Authorities (VA). The X.509 standard defines the most commonly used format for public key certificates.
