Public key infrastructure (PKI) is the unsung hero of modern security and trusted networks: a framework of policies, roles, hardware, software, and procedures for issuing, managing, and revoking digital certificates and cryptographic keys.

Trust has always underpinned relationships between people, businesses and governments. In today’s digital-first economy, that trust must extend far beyond face-to-face interactions and handwritten signatures.

Machine identities, digital credentials for servers, services, containers, IoT devices, API endpoints, and increasingly AI agents, are foundational to modern digital trust.
