Generation

Public-key infrastructure (PKI) is a framework that enables secure digital communications by managing digital certificates and public-private key pairs. It allows users to verify the authenticity of parties in online transactions and encrypt sensitive data, forming the foundation for secure web browsing (HTTPS), email encryption, and digital signatures. PKI is essential for establishing trust and security in digital communications across the internet.
