Linux平台下公钥基础设施(PKI)的研究

公开密钥基础设施（Public Key Infrastructrue,PKI)是用于创建，管理，存储，分发和吊销公钥的硬件，软件，人员，策略和过程的集合体，它是建立在公钥密码学中“解密（或签名）密钥与加密（或验证）密钥不同”这一重要特性之上的，现有的PKI产品大都以微软的Windows系列操作系统为平台，而且它们在扩展性以及各系统之间的互操作方面还存在不足，Linux上仍很多其它操作系统无法比拟的优点，加强Linux平台下PKI系统的研究是十分有意义的。

PKI Implementation Research under Linux Platform

PKI(Public Key Infrastructure)is a combination of hardware and software products, policies and procedures, which are responsible to key pair creation, management, preservation, distribution and revocation. Now most of the PKI products are based on MS Windows operating system and the system upgrading and interoperability among the different implementation is poor. Linux has many outstanding advantages that the other operating systems can't assimilate. So the research on PKI designation and implementation under Linux platform is bound to be necessary and deserving.
