whitepaper The Use of Digital Certificates for Authentication to a Wireless LAN2005-02-01 Symbol Technologies
  Digital Certificates are a vital component of network security. By establishing the identity of people and electronic assets using a wired or wireless network, Digital Certificates authenticate that their holders - people, web sites, and network resources such as routers - are who or what they claim to be. Now they are playing an increasingly vital role in providing security and validation for wireless connections and securing wireless local area networks (WLANs).

whitepaper Energy Analysis of Public-Key Cryptography for Wireless Sensor Networks2004-12-17 Sun Microsystems
  In this paper, the energy cost of authentication and key exchange are quantified based on public-key cryptography on an 8-bit microcontroller platform. The paper presents a comparison of two public-key algorithms, RSA and Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC), and considers mutual authentication and key exchange between two untrusted parties such as two nodes in a wireless sensor network. The measurements on an Atmel ATmega128L low-power microcontroller indicate that public-key cryptography is very viable on 8-bit energy-constrained platforms even if implemented in software.

whitepaper Best Practices for Implementing a Microsoft Windows Server2003 Public Key Infrastructure2003-01-01 Microsoft
  This document is a quick start guide that one can use to set up a Microsoft Windows Server 2003 public key infrastructure (PKI). It provides all the information that one need to deploy a viable PKI that is based on Windows Server 2003 technology. The paper outlines a proven PKI architecture that is applicable for the majority of organizations. It includes tips and decision best practices that have been obtained from customer experiences. To ensure that configuration steps have been implemented correctly, this document also includes useful verification steps. Where possible, information regarding the configuration and installation of a server running a member of the Windows 2000 Server family is provided for comparison.

whitepaper Using Public Key Cryptography in Mobile Phones2002-10-01 Discretix Technologies
  As mobile networks expand their bandwidth, mobile phones, as with any other Internet device, become substantially exposed to Internet security vulnerabilities. Public key cryptography is a primary concept in implementing wireless device security. Many papers have been written about public key infrastructure, this paper does not delve into the deeper mechanisms of PKI. Instead, it describes the applicative use of PKI in current and future mobile phone applications, and shows how Discretix CryptoCell™ efficient, lightweight and standard-compliant implementation of cryptographic algorithms, enables wireless devices to become PKI-enabled.

whitepaper Introduction to PKI - Public Key Infrastructure2002-05-01 Knowledge Binder
  Public Key Infrastructure is a system for supporting digital signatures and document encryption for an organization. It is fast becoming essential for an effective secure commerce and to fulfill general security and authentication requirements over non-secure networks (like the Net). The banking services are the most popular usage of this technology, which is quickly spreading over all the applications that need security to be fully operational.

The objective of this document is to briefly describe the general and basic concepts of the PKI to people interested in security and secure commerce (sometimes called S-commerce) but with a low knowledge level about the Internet security. That's why this study starts by introducing some basic security concepts, which are needed to understand the PKI topics.

whitepaper Basic Elements of a PKI2000-12-08 SmartTrust
  Assymetric encryption allows users to identify themselves over an electronic network, to communicate privately, and to sign electronic documents. These functions form the basis for e-commerce, and a system that exploits this technology is known as a Public Key Infrastructure (PKI). .

whitepaper Data Encryption Techniques1999-09-07 Stewart-Frazier Tools
  Often there has been a need to protect information from 'prying eyes'. In the electronic age, information that could otherwise benefit or educate a group or individual can also be used against such groups or individuals. Industrial espionage among highly competitive businesses often requires that extensive security measures be put into place. And, those who wish to exercise their personal freedom, outside of the oppressive nature of governments, may also wish to encrypt certain information to avoid suffering the penalties of going against the wishes of those who attempt to control. Still, the methods of data encryption and decryption are relatively straightforward, and easily mastered. I have been doing data encryption since my college days, when I used an encryption algorithm to store game programs and system information files on the university mini-computer, safe from 'prying eyes'. These were files that raised eyebrows amongst those who did not approve of such things, but were harmless [we were always careful NOT to run our games while people were trying to get work done on the machine. I was occasionally asked what this "rather large file" contained, and I once demonstrated the program that accessed it, but you needed a password to get to 'certain files' nonetheless. And, some files needed a separate encryption program to decipher them.   
whitepaper Public-Key Infrastructure Technology and Concepts2001-01-22 Certicom
  This paper is intended t help explain general PKI technology and concepts. For the sake of rientation,it also touches on policies and standards and on some of the new and exciting applications that will consume PKI services and at last fulfill their promise of efficiency and effectiveness in the emerging e-commerce market.
